AppMakr Acquisition Creates the Largest DIY Mobile App Publisher in the World

Jersey City, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/20/2013 -- Infinite Monkeys, a Singapore-based Do-It-Yourself Mobile App publishing platform announced today that it has become one of the largest publishers of mobile apps in the world, after acquiring its biggest competitor AppMakr. With this acquisition, Infinite Monkeys now serves over half a million consumers, small businesses and community groups in 60+ countries. AppMakr was developed by Socialize, which was in turn acquired by ShareThis in March 2013.

Infinite Monkeys, which offers a similar Drag-and-Drop Mobile App Builder, will continue to support all Free-Plan customers of the AppMakr platform with their existing apps. Any customer who previously signed up for AppMakr's $79/month ad-free plan will be offered a 2-months free upgrade promotion to migrate their apps to the Infinite Monkeys platform, which is available at just $9 / month. All customer support lines and forums will be managed by the support team at Infinite Monkeys.

Jay Shapiro, co-founder and CEO of Infinite Monkeys explained: "We have always had a lot of respect for AppMakr and the incredibly loyal following they have. We were delighted to work with ShareThis to create a workable solution that lets everyone win. This is just another example of why ShareThis is one of the best social marketing companies out there for small businesses. They've shown their commitment to the customers today, for sure."

Daniel Odio, founder of AppMakr and senior vice president at ShareThis, added, "Infinite Monkeys and AppMakr are a natural fit. With AppMakr technology, Infinite Monkey will have even more tools to help anyone create robust, interesting and engaging apps for any device."

By combining these two app publishing customer bases, Infinite Monkeys becomes one of the largest publishers of mobile apps in the world. Serving over 1/2 million mobile app publishers today in 60+ countries, Infinite Monkeys enables non tech users to reach their customers on smartphones in over 11 languages, including Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Hindi and Arabic.

Jay Shapiro added: "This acquisition takes us one big step closer towards our goal bringing mobile apps to the masses and ensuring that everyone can have an app.", although technically that's probably 500,000 steps closer.

As One of the More Than 530,000 Businesses in the “oConomy”, the Global Infrastructure of Infinite Monkeys Spans Six Continents, Existing Entirely in the Cloud

Jersey City, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/15/2013 -- Heading into 2013, the world has never felt smaller. Workers and companies around the world are changing the way they work, leveraging globally distributed teams of on-demand experts to make their businesses flexible, agile and even entirely mobile. One company that is leading the charge in this bold new way of working is oDesk. With its online workplace servicing over 530,000 businesses and more than 2.8 million contract workers around the world, they've created the perfect vehicle for companies to go global or to exist completely in the cloud. One of the best examples of this new way of working is the drag-and-drop make your own mobile app building company:Infinite Monkeys.

In an article published by oDesk last week, Infinite Monkeys was spotlighted as a groundbreaking business using oDesk in new and innovative ways. In fact, Infinite Monkeys has become a virtual poster child for the oDesk philosophy of giving the world a new way to work. Jay Shapiro, CEO of Infinite Monkeys and self-described "Global Nomad," started the company with a team of oDesk contractors spread across all six continents. Over the past 2 years, over 140 different contractors have participated in creating different aspects of the business, although that team is now settled in at a steady 30 to 40 contractors, it's still as global as ever and the entire infrastructure of the company exists in the cloud.

Thanks to the platform provided by oDesk, Shapiro is not just theoretically able to virtually oversee his team contractors from anywhere in the world, he actually does. Many of the company's weekly video conferences and progress updates are held by the side of a glacier or lakeshore, as Shapiro and his family travel around the world in their custom built "EcoRoamer" vehicle.

Connecting via satellite and 4G network signals, Shapiro has designed the EcoRoamer to be not just his rolling global expedition vehicle, but it also serves as global headquarters for the Infinite Monkeys business. According to the oDesk article, "Brought under one roof, Shapiro's team would need about 4,000 square feet, plus support services and equipment — costs that could choke a startup launching in a conventional way."

Additionally, given the fact that the team's contractors are spread across the world, there is no such thing as company downtime with at least some of the staff "on the clock" at any hour of the day.

The oDesk / Infinite Monkeys combination is a perfect marriage of two forward-thinking businesses who've experienced quick growth and success while bolstering the emergence of global, mobile workforces. Infinite Monkeys saw tens of thousands of small business customers signed up with their app building platform in the first nine months, a feat due largely in part to the vast and talented pool of oDesk contractors.

"It's an honor to be one of the first companies spotlighted for our global business model by oDesk," states Shapiro. "We've really capitalized on their platform in building Infinite Monkeys and it's a large part of the reason we've enjoyed so many successes while providing an easy, zero-cost entry to the app marketplace for our small business customers."

In Support Of Small Business Saturday, “Make Your Own Mobile App” Platform Infinite Monkeys Offers $99 On-Ramp For Small Businesses To Enter The App Economy

Jersey City, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/03/2012 -- On Saturday, November 24, customers around the country will head out to their favorite local boutiques, shoe stores, mom-and-pop shops and more to show their support of Small Business Saturday. Joining in the show of small business support is Drag-and-Drop Mobile app building platform Infinite Monkeys. The platform is drastically reducing the entry price of their fully-loaded "Monkey Business" app option as a boost to these valuable small businesses. The lowered price point, from $499 to just $99, allows SMBs to enter the app marketplace and increase their customer engagement, relevancy and organic marketing efforts in seamless app-style.

The special pricing of $99 for an unlimited, ad-free mobile app, will be offered to small businesses who create their own mobile app before the end of the year.

Over the past two years, the Small Business Saturday movement has driven scores of consumers through the doors of local small businesses that are this country's backbone. According to a 2011 Small Business Saturday Consumer Survey by Echo Research, and commissioned by American Express, over one hundred million people "shopped small" throughout their communities on this day in 2011. It's safe to assume that those numbers will increase this year and provide a much needed economic boost.

Infinite Monkeys understands the need to support small businesses is an ongoing affair. On the Sunday morning after Small Business Saturday, and each day following, these small businesses that are such a crucial element of economic recovery for the USA will continue their hard work of building and sustaining a successful business. Given the current technological climate and the push toward mobile, providing customers with an app is a great resource for strengthening loyalty and building new relationships. Survey findings compiled by Bank of the West show that nearly three-quarters (74%) of all small business owners believe that mobile tech "will be important to the future success of their businesses." Apps have become a central feature of modern-day marketing and social connectivity from which all small businesses can benefit.

"Small Business Saturday is all about encouraging consumers to shop local and support the long-tail businesses in their community. The Infinite Monkeys mobile app platform gives those small businesses a way to reach and stay in touch with those customers to extend the shopping relationship throughout the rest of the year." states Infinite Monkeys CEO and co-founder Jay Shapiro. The simple no-coding-required, drag-and-drop interface of Infinite Monkeys' App Building Machine, combined with the low $99 cost, puts a fantastic app built at an extraordinary price into the hands of all small businesses.
