Android finally gets a web store :)

Up till now the only way to browse and search for Android Apps was from within your device, but has Google announced the Android Market Web store this week that allows you to search for the apps using web browser as well.

There’s nothing special about the website design, however, the Apps are placed neatly into categories and there is also a featured-app section on the top.

There are only two main categories, Games and Applications, each of which is further broken into many sub-categories. For now, there is no mechanism to sort the app according to different parameter which is much needed especially when you have over 100,000 apps.

One thing that I like about the website is the Individual Application page where you can read all the information about the app, the reviews, see detailed ratings, view related apps and even share it via twitter.

You can also login to the website using your Google account to see all your previous and current purchases and your Android device information.

You can also install the application to your device directly from the web. Here’s a recording of the Google event held on February 2 where they unveiled the Android Market Website along with Honeycomb.

Be safe from '11.6 hours' Virus

Twitter users beware! If you get a message titled "I have spent 11.6 hours on Twitter. How much have you?" do not click on the included link — even if it is from someone you know on Twitter — as it is a malware application.

The scam seems to be spreading, despite the fact that the linked application, called "Time on Tweeter", ‒ but that may changed by the attackers — actually requires you to authenticate it with Twitter before it does its nasty business.

It just goes to show how careless people can be in giving access to their social networks to unknown third-party applications. Although the gullibility of the general social-network public cannot be denied, perhaps such services should do more to educate users about the harms of such attacks, and get better at detecting rogue applications using their services?

Such scams are common on Facebook where the level of trust between friends is perhaps even higher, but are not unknown in Twitter either.
