They could massively improve the App Store interface for customers if they made the app URLs ( like http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=315659984&mt=8 http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftwa... ) more than a shitass redirect to a proprietary itunes:// URL.
The directory of apps doesn't have to be any good, just crawlable -- all this shit just needs to be Googleable, and possible for third-parties to build sites and communities around.

- Zev 17y agohttp://itunes.com/app/AppName http://itunes.com/app/AppName works. Case insensitive, remove spaces if necessary.
- blasdel 17y agoThe gross URL is irrelevant -- the problem is that there is zero content in the HTTP Response, and not even an index of the URLs.
