TapSlide Applications

TapSlide is an industry leader in building not just mobile applications and games but in building complete mobile marketing solutions. A recent article in Ad Week supports TapSlide's position that mobile ad buys are less effective than complete mobile marketing solutions that include not only mobile phone applications but also a desktop widget that works in conjunction with the mobile marketing application. Why buy ads on a mobile ad network when you can have a complete mobile marketing solution that engages your user not only when they are using their phone but also on the desktop as well.
