Just taking a break from using Napster and Myspace so we thought we’d get with the times and port POOP THE WORLD to Android. We’ve just started the porting process and with any luck, we’ll be up and running on Android by Christmas. Stay tuned!
As not seen on Jimmy Fallon, POOP THE WORLD has released an updated version to the app store.
The update includes the not-really-new-anymore Facebook and Twitter API’s so that when you enter your login details in the app, every time you ‘Generate a Poop’, you creation gets flushed (autobroadcast) directly to Facebook and Twitter to let your followers and close friends / family know what’s just gone down.
Also, when you unlock sweet ass trophies and achievements, they get posted to Twitter and Facebook too.


Were you sitting with bated breath, unable to believe that Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, and Larry David all at one point were talking about a “toilet related app” for the iPhone?

I definitely got my hopes up a little quick in thinking that there was a POOP THE WORLD reference about to unfold. As the Seinfeld reunion script goes, George made millions on one but then got burned by Bernie Madoff and lost all his money.
I’d like to know when George got into the app game as it seems a little diluted and without being biased, there is simply not a better poop app out there past PTW.
But speaking of app name dropping by celebrities, it makes me wonder why if some of the all-time pinnacles of entertainment and comedy on TV use this material in their shows, then why won’t Apple promote, oh I don’t know, that app POOP THE WORLD on any of their featured lists?
If I could suggest a few edits to Jerry and Larry on the script it would be:
- George and Jerry develop POOP THE WORLD and is convinced that geo-tagging of poops on real time Google maps, funny cartoon poop pics, and social networking integration with Facebook and Twitter is the wave of the future.
- Elaine, and Kramer all agree and chip in thousands of dollars make it happen.
- Upon releasing the app, Jerry’s humor is used to make unique promotional videos that help get the app national news coverage. He and George even invent an alter ego to help the cause.
- Apple does not promote the app on any of their featured lists and the gang starts to lose hope.
- Even George and Jerry’s parents don’t understand why their sons are investing in something about poop for a phone. They don’t get that its not about real poop but funny digital cartoon images. George’s father declares that his son has serious mental problems. Bans him from Festivus indefinitely.

– Then one day, after pitching a new pilot to NBC, George becomes disinterested and starts using the POOP THE WORLD app. The pitch goes poorly but an exec notices George geo-tagging a Baby Nessie with the fragrance of New Tennis Balls. Turns out the exec at NBC knows Ellen and Jimmy Fallon and feels that the app is brilliant.
- After being featured on their shows, the app becomes a cult classic for iPhone users. Questlove even lets George play the drums and Ellen dunks Jerry in the pool. Life couldn’t be happier.
– But instead of investing his money with Bernie Madoff, George and Jerry opt to purchase motorcycles and spend their days drinking Slurpee’s, playing golf and filming Mandeer episodes around the world.
- Apple still does not promote the app but all is forgiven after Kramer reboots Kramerica and purchases Apple with the proceeds from his cut of POOP THE WORLD.
It’s hard to believe that in December of 2008 we had met with a handful of potential developers to get an idea of what would be involved to create POOP THE WORLD. January arrived and we had a business plan in hand and fast forward about 7 months and v1 has been on the market for a while and we’ve had lot’s of suggestions for v2.
We’ve now got two great sites (pooptheworld.com + swsdigital.com), over 500 followers on Twitter, our own Facebook fan page, over 130 ratings in iTunes, seen and heard some great reviews, but best of all, have been able to watch the Global Poop Leaderboard and dynamic maps showing people from all over the world using our app. We’ve been blogging steadily, and even had a one day sale for free that blew the springs off our expected number of downloads. We’re more confident than ever that our app can crack that Top 20 list again (as it did throughout its first week).
Well, v2 is with the Apple approval gods right now and we’re very excited about what our partners at Atimi and Engine Digital have helped us create.
To give you a few clues about what to expect:
- Facebook Wall integration
- Facebook Friends List integration
- Twitter integration
- Autobroadcasting of achievements / trophies / poops generated
- Optimized loading times
- View the Global Poop Leaderboard from your iPhone / iPod Touch
- View your most recent poops on a scrolling map (My Poops)
We think you’ll love it.
