A Semi-Definitive Preware Blacklist List

Now that you have the option to blacklist, or leave out certain categories from the list of apps shown, we can finally sort out all of the App Spam that’s plagued our App Catalog for so long. This spam is only going to get worse now that Palm has taken out all fees from the ecosystem. Here is a semi-definitive list of vendors, categories, and keywords you should keep out of your Preware app catalog:

Vendors:

• Brighthouse Labs—I’m not even going to explain this one.
• Appible Inc.—A smaller Brighthouse Labs that gained recognition for blatenly copying Dr. Podder. I’d explain that as well, but it’s too complex to even bother.
• AppBookShop.com
• Dijit
• Appwill Inc.
• Upward Mobility—Relatively new to the scene, but definitely making up for lost time.

I could go on and on, but I think PreCentral member tobias_funke pretty much summed it up in his forum post.

Tags

• Flashlight—One and done folks, one and done.
• Soundboard—Same thing. Unless it’s super cool. You know what I mean.

That’s it. Again it’s semi-definitive, not iron clad, so if you know of anything, be sure to let me know.
