Apple iPhone may be based on a closed system, but it has a huge fan base. Lots of people have bought into iPhone’s promise and have gotten on board with the platform. Not everyone uses the same types of apps on their devices. That’s why sharing your lists with others and looking at their list can be a useful way to provide value. Thanks to AppsFire, we all can share our favorite apps with the world and help others discover new apps.

The service is quite easy to get to work. All you have to do is download AppsFire’s iPhone application and import your apps. You can then share them with the world. It’s also possible to go over what others have had to share on their pages as well. Best of all, you can send a link to your very own apps page from Facebook or Twitter.

iTunes has a ton of applications. Finding the best apps is not always easy. There are so many copycats out there and not too many app review sites offer a detailed comparison of these apps. AppsFire taps into the power of community to provide its users a better shot at finding top iPhone apps.

AppsFire is impressive in many ways. It shows how entrepreneurs can use the power of community to offer better, more sophisticated products to their customers. A great case study for aspiring entrepreneurs.

Twitter and Facebook may be the kings, but FriendFeed is not far behind. If you are not already on Friendfeed, it’s never too late to start. It’s a great way to share information, engage in discussions, and learn new tricks. Chances are you are not around enough to manage your Friendfeed account as well in addition to your Facebook and Twitter accounts. You can always sync your Friendfeed account with the other ones, but I personally prefer being involved in the community more. That’s the best way to get more value out of it.

If you have an iPhone, you can easily manage your Friendfeed account when you are on the go. That’s probably the best way to keep up. Here are 6 iPhone applications that let you update your account from anywhere at anytime.

1. BuddyFeed: a premium client for FriendFeed junkies. Very powerful and comes with everything you need to take care of your FriendFeed account. It’s the best Friendfeed client by a decent margine.
2. Pingle: a client based on Ping.FM that allows you to update your FriendFeed page fast.
3. Statuso: a great little app that lets you update your FriendFeed or Facebook status easily.
4. Compose: allows you to send notes and links to your FriendFeed account.
5. Nambu: a free app for FriendFeed that lets you manage your account while you are on the go. Not as good as the premium ones but still good.
6. webfeedr: another FriendFeed client that lets you post updates and access your info on your phone.

You don’t have to be at your desk to get the discussion going on Friendfeed. All you need is a phone that lets you manage your account while you are on the go. Best of all, the above apps don’t cost you more than a couple of dollars. Well worth the investment.
