Howdy, everyone!

iGovernment, my latest project, is now live on the App Store! Its a news app
that aggregates feeds of news, blogs, photos and video from a bunch of
government sources into a shiny little app.

I've been working with a framework called TapLynx (http://taplynx.com), which
is made by the same folks who do NetNewsWire. It handles all the heavy
lifting, and we were able to focus on the overall design and not worry about
the nuts and bolts.

The first time it was submitted, it was rejected for transferring too much
data over the cell network, so I figured they just thought it was too
awesome. We trimmed it down a little and resubmitted, and since it was
approved its been steadily climbing the charts, today its been just short of
the Top 25 Paid News apps, so its pretty exciting.

Anyway, I'd really love it if you could check it out. There's more
information and screenshots on the iTunes Preview page at

Thanks!
