Apps Overload? Listings Directory Appolicious Buys AppVee


Appolicious Logo Web

If you think that the whole apps space is getting too crowded, and discovery mechanisms too limited, then online apps directories are here to help. And now some mini-consolidation in the space:  Appolicious, a new-ish iPhone and Android app directory, is acquiring AppVee, founded two years ago. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but likely small cash and some equity. AppVee focuses reviews of apps on iTunes App Store, and also owns AndroidApps.com, for apps on Google’s Android mobile platform. Alan Warms, CEO of Appolicious, founded BuzzTracker and sold it to Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO), and was also GM of Yahoo News before leaving a year ago. Last month Appolicious announced raising $1.5 million in funding from Apex Venture Partnersand James Crouthamel, the founder of Performics. My bet: how long before the company changes its name from the rather tongue twisting Appolicious?
