Thanks for the kinds words about the Creative Whack Pack iPhone app. Creating it was fun and energizing. The App has now been on sale for one month (today). Marketing and promoting it has been an interesting exercise.
There are now (depend…
At this point, I'm just trying to get the iPhone version launched. But I am looking into the BlackBerry and Android platforms. There are some definite pluses and minuses for both of these.
For example, the BB platform is, I believe, Java based. Tha…
Awesome... WhackPack 2.0!
Any plans to make it available on other smartphones (especially the Samsung Omnia???)
Hi Franca! Glad you like the app. That means a lot to me coming from you.
Since about last summer, I've had people come to me saying they wanted to license the Creative Whack Pack for an iPhone app. I typically like to do my own products so I polit…

- Hello, I heard you speak at a marketing research conference not long ago, and was so impressed. Instead of friend, I guess 'fan' would be a better description.

- Franca: Nice to see you! The Heraclitus post probably reminded you of all the Heraclitus email exchanges we had in the late 90s. That was fun.
I see you created this Forum on Ning. My daughter Athena works there (head of customer service; she was employee #13 when she joined three years ago; now they manage over 250,000 networks).
Tim: Thanks for the kind comments about "Whack." Congratulations to you on the great success of "Think Better" and your peaking career.

- Mr Whackman! Very good to see you here. I hope you'll be visiting often. Congratulations on the 25th Anniversary Edition of one of the best creativity books ever, A Whack on the Side of the Head. I know it changed my life, and I'm sure it had a major influence on many of the people in this group.

I'm curious if anyone else at the Hub has created an app and what their experience has been.

The App, like the card deck, has 64 illustrated creativity strategies. But it also has many more stories, examples, anecdotes, and questions. It also has "Whack of the Day" and creative workshop functions. It has lots of "playability," and can be used by yourself or with othe… Continue
