Cydia Acquires Rock, Creates One App Store To Rule Them All

Posted: 11 Sep 2010 07:30 AM PDT

Cydia, the well-known software repository for jailbroken Apple devices, will today start to incorporate the app catalog of Rock Your Phone after SaurikIT (creators of Cydia) acquired the popular app store, creating a unified place for all jailbroken applications in the process.

A statement on the Rock Your iPhone website announced the following:

After 18 months in the iOS Jailbreak scene Rock has been acquired by SaurikIT (makers of Cydia) and over the next few days we will be moving all products/users/licenses over to Cydia Store.

Customers who have purchased apps via Rock will be able to port their licenses across to Cydia by using their Google Account or Facebook account to login to Cydia, automatically transferring the licenses.

The guys at Rock also included some fun facts about the store:

  • Number of Developers with apps listed in the Rock Store: 124 (from 19 countries)
  • Unique iOS devices that installed Rock: 4.6 million (from 220 countries/territories) – Wow that is a lot of places!
  • Registered Rock Users: 2+ million
  • Number of App licenses sold: 500,000
  • Users of who took the plunge and bought something: 280,000 (from 185 countries)
  • Users who said screw it and installed a hacked version instead: 38 billion (please send us $1)
  • Total Rock Your Phone Store Sales (March 12th, 2009 – September 2010): $3.3+ million
  • Number of Rock Employees (we are using the word employee loosely here but, hey, it is our company): 9

An interesting development that’s for sure, more apps on Cydia can only be a good thing. Congratulations to the Rock team!

Flickr and Orkut lead the social media uptime league

Posted: 11 Sep 2010 06:24 AM PDT

Want to know how reliable your favourite social media site is? A newly-launched service will tell you just that.

Social.Downornot.com from Watchmouse measures the uptime of a range of social sites and offers their current status along with an overview of their performance over the past week. Each of the 20 sites covered by the service is regularly checked, and if the result is wrong or is received after eight seconds, it is noted as an error and unavailable.

So, who’s winning the uptime league? Watchmouse says that only Google’s Orkut (little used outside Brazil and India) has registered 100% uptime between 1 August and 7 September. Flickr and Delicious were close runners up with 99.99% and 99.97% respectively. Meanwhile, Watchmouse registered that over a third of sites returned ‘unacceptable’ results. The bottom performer was MySpace (95.63%), followed by YouTube (95.93%).

While the uptime of popular websites would hardly be considered gripping entertainment by many, Watchmouse’s service is actually fascinating to delve into. We can see in the screenshot below, for example, that Twitter’s website has been doing pretty well over the past week. You can see the past 24 hours’ performance on a map and as you’ll see, it’s good everywhere except China which is clearly visible as a big red blob. Seeing as Twitter is blocked there, that’s no surprise.

It’s worth noting, though, that this service is only measuring uptime of the websites themselves – it doesn’t count all the times Twitter (for example) is down as a service. Watchmouse’s nine month old API Status service has that side of things covered.
