Another “this is what ppl are interested in?!” example: UK Royal Wedding Smart Phone Apps
There’s an app for that. And that. And that. And apparently, there are now apps to fix your Royal Wedding cravings. Seriously?!
“More than a dozen smartphone apps are offering to bring fans everything royal wedding-related wherever they are - so they can check the days and minutes until Prince William and Kate Middleton’s 29 April wedding, hoard news and pictures about them and instantly share their favourite royal wedding tidbits on social media networks. One iPhone app - ‘Alarm Royale’ - even lets people set their phone alarm clock to a wedding march or royal-themed music like ‘God Save the Queen’ and ‘Rule Britannia’. Once a person wakes up, the app also shows them a new fact about the royal couple every day.”
And just who is using these royal applications?
“While the US and Britain are the largest markets, people are downloading the apps from as far away as the Philippines and Saudi Arabia.”
Looks as though people all over the world simply can’t help but keep track of how many minutes there are until Kate and William say “I do”.

To think that we spend so much time and energy concepting smart, quality-content-driven apps…
I think my ‘fave’ may be the “Alarm Royale- Royal Wedding Alarm Clock, Facts & Countdown Timer”.
