The founders of this app, two guys from my town, are from a nearby village and they commute from their village to the town daily. They had to call and tell their parents that they reached their office safely. If they did not call the parents would get worried. Sude note: it is expected in India for grown children to live with their parents.
So they thought an app would help them save money and time. Also, this ensured their parents got a notification as soon as they reached their office.
It's created by two students from my town. They showed it to me and I thought it was pretty neat. I tried it out and helped them with their copy a bit and it seems to be an app that can do well. I'll pass your critique and praises to the founders when I see them this weekend. The website is http://buzzerping.com/

Candy Crush Saga owners try to bully everyone with Candy in their App's name. Finally someone stood up and win against them. More details will be added later http://www.reddit.com/r/Entrepreneur/comments/25wxw0/we_beat_candy_crush_so_our_mobile_app_has_candy/

http://flippiness.com/ is a brain child of Dinesh Agarwal, a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Georgia State University. As a student he did not like the steep prices he had to pay and instead of getting a Job at Microsoft he went to create a startup called Bookup that tool the middlemen out. Bookup did not work and now he created Flippiness to allow students to leverage the inefficiencies of...
I created this tool that finds inefficiencies in market and utilizes that information to give you URLs for an item (like a college textbook) that you can buy cheaper and sell to a buy back service for a small profit. I charge 50% of the profit. You can rinse and repeat this as many times as you want.Do you think this is neat? Check it out at http://flippiness.com/

I am already a big fan of this tool as it increased my conversion by at least 30%.The tool gives you a list of all of your competition's recently active fans. You could then take this list and do whatever analysis you want to do on it.
