"Thirsty Pocket offers [an] innovative selling and shopping solution to eliminate the complexities and lengthy time required to post and purchase items on other on-line sites such as eBay and Craigslist. Smartphone users no longer need these cumbersome, awkward sites. Thirsty Pocket provides pain-free posting and convenient, fun shopping."
Get back to simplifying tasks. Isn't that what Apple is about? And particularly with the iPhone?
The Pulp
Thirsty Pocket is an almost embarrassingly simple way to sell items with little time or effort involved. It 'one ups' the simplicity of Craig's list while adding photos (shot from your iPhone, no less) to your classified ad. First, pick your item to sell. Second pick a category. Push the button to take a picture of said item for the ad (if you insist you can pull one from your photo library). Third, push the button an put it up for sale.
That's it. Honestly. Simpler than Craig's List!
The Rind
Nada. Nada. Nada.
Summary
This is another one of those iApps that are what I refer to as 'electronic paper clips.' They're indispensable. And if you don't have an iPhone, Thirsty Pocket will be available to other phones and internet devices shortly. Keep checking the site.
So, Thirsty Pocket. Free. Dead simple. What are you waiting for?
