Iddiction introduces Xplode so your app doesn’t get lost in the app stores

Iddiction is all about making it easier for the right people to discover your app or game. So the creator of the App-O-Day app promotion site is now launching Xplode, a new app discovery platform.

If it works, it will help developers and publishers get a lot more users for their apps and games without spending a ton on user acquisition. High marketing costs are starting to kill mobile startups, so Iddiction wants to come to the rescue.
