14 DAY TRIAL // You can now have your own iPhone app featuring all of your personal feeds from sources such as Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Posterous, Tumblr, and more, according to a finding by TUAW. Also available for smartphone users running Android, iSites (by Generation Wireless – GENWI) is a new service that allows you to take all of your feeds and put them in an iPhone app created just for you. The company will take care of everything for just $25.
“iSites enables you to both create and self-manage iPhone applications to reach your audience in real-time,” the people behind the service explain. “iSites helps you engage your audience and promote your app. Users can share and discuss your content on Facebook and Twitter. These features will also promote your app [...] Monetize your app with ads with your own accounts from Admob and Google Adsense. Simply add your publisher ID to their ad accounts.”
Yes, according to GENWI, you can spend an additional $99 to integrate AdMob ads into your personal app, and have it published in the App Store to make some cash.
You can add content to the app in two ways, according to GENWI. “RSS is content that is already serialized on the web,” the company explains. “iSites allows you to hook those you own or maintain to easily build up your app! RSS 2.0, iTunes RSS, or Media RSS are each easy to add.” Another way is to connect with your other social services, GENWI says.
“Select any of our featured icons from the social web, type in the essential info, and you’ll have your twitter stream lists and your YouTube videos added in no time. Let us know if you want a new service,” it reveals, adding that updates will flow to your app automatically, once these services are entered into your account on iSites.
Lastly, but equally important, iSites is highly customizable offering options like a splash screen of choice (which dissolves to home screen in one second, according to GENWI), a preferred icon, and an iTunes store banner. Visit the iSites website here for more information.
