# DoApp Making Big Strides with ‘Mobile Local News’ App - Host: [minnov8.com](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/hosts/minnov8.com/) - Saved: October 16, 2009 (2009-10-16T23:55:53Z) - Record: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a4aba57f04f3/ - JSON: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a4aba57f04f3.json ## From the page (probably an excerpt, not Jamie's words) If you’re a TV news station, newspaper, or online news site, you probably should get to know Minnesota startup DoApp Inc.  For those of you in our local tech community who already know of this firm (it launched early in 2008), you may find this fact amazing: on a search for “DoApp” in the Apple® iTunes® App Store, you’ll see the company now has — count ‘em — no less than 84 apps published, available for download.  Now, you may have known DoApp only for utility and game apps, with which it had early success soon after the App Store launched in mid-2008.  The firm ended 2008 with well over 3 million downloads of those apps — 11 of them are now in the store (and most have been updated multiple times). But what are those other 70-some apps (and counting)? ## Facts - Kind: [Page](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/kinds/page/) ## Same host - [Minnov8 Gang Podcast - Episode 37](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/75adb95be311/) (minnov8.com, May 27, 2009) - [WCCO Walks The Wire](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/12fba9046b4f/) (minnov8.com, November 3, 2009) - [Alvenda Bags $5 Million in VC](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/d5b313271144/) (minnov8.com, January 17, 2010) - [Minnov8 Gang 100th Podcast](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f6eba570994e/) (minnov8.com, November 10, 2010) - [Minneapolis ‘Unusually Successful’ and ‘Respected by Tech Insiders’](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e0051a898276/) (minnov8.com, November 11, 2010) ## Saved the same week - [Virtual goods sales to hit $1 billion in 2009 as social games pay off big](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/9e322a8dc6f5/) (venturebeat.com, October 15, 2009) - ["The Negative is the Score, the Print the Performance"](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/aa7431551dd6/) (laynekennedy.blogspot.com, October 15, 2009) - [A Couple Docs Shot With A Stills Camera](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/f02dc5f325a2/) (aphotoeditor.com, October 15, 2009) - [Steiger: The process of finding and reporting news may no longer require newspapers, but](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/edc03ae95f0c/) (poynter.org, October 15, 2009) - [Idaho Falls newspaper rescinds AP cancellation](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/4df0d5732cff/) (poynter.org, October 15, 2009) ## Elsewhere - Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://minnov8.com/2009/10/16/doapp-making-big-strides-with-mobile-local-news-app/
