Some great press this last week for POOP THE WORLD in the form of an article by NPR. A pleasant surprise to wake up to and also a nice spike in sales as a result. Thanks NPR!

“We’re proud to say we dominate this very narrow niche”

We’ve had a few questions from users who are wanting to link their poops to Twitter and Facebook. There’s an app for that, right?

If you’ve uploaded our most recent version and on the first run through decided not to input your username / passwords for Twitter and Facebook (don’t worry, we don’t keep nor care about these – you people are clearly sick with your love for poop and we want nothing to do with your personal lives.)

How To Turn On Auto-broadcast for Twitter and Facebook

- On your iPhone go to the app called Settings

- Scroll down to “Poop”

- After you input your Twitter details you will be able to automatically broadcast your poops to your Twitter followers. For Facebook, all you have to do is make sure that Auto-Login and Auto-Broadcast are selected and you’re good to go. Hit ‘Settings’ in the top left to save.

What Happens When I Auto-Broadcast My Poops?

Glad you asked. It’s pretty cool actually.

We have funny messages that will show up in your Twitter feed or Facebook status when you auto-broadcast. As soon as you hit “Flush & Post” to generate a poop, the poop type and fragrance data is captured and input into a message. Here’s an example:

Don’t These Get Stale After a While?
Heeeeeell no. We can update these puppies at will and what makes them cool is that we can target them in Twitter to trending topics so that not only are you sharing your funny poops with friends but the keywords as they relate to trending topics (Above example: #Christmas) allows your post to respected by others. We find this is a good way to get more followers. Try it!

SHARE POOP: How to send a poop directly to a particular person

If you are reading this and you are one of those reviewers who doesn’t take the time to check out apps before writing a review, this is where there seems to be a misconception so read carefully: POOP THE WORLD DOES NOT INVOLVE ANY IMAGES OF REAL POOP. That’s sick. Ours are funny little cartoon Ren & Stimpy-like poops. Cool?

Feel like randomly blasting a specific friend with your latest poop? On the Main Menu select SHARE POOP

Then you’ll see the details of the last poop you generated (as well as your stats). Select SEND POOP at the bottom:

Then select the type of message you want to send. In the case of selecting specific people select Email My Last Poop or Send to Facebook Friend.

That’s it! Told you it was cool.

The other day the world bore witness to some amazing images from Sydney, Australia where an outback dust storm converged on the city and turned everything blood red. We had some time to do a little more research and it turns out that the dust storm has migrated. See below.

Hell

If you see any other places that the mysterious red dust has landed, call me immediately. I’m very concerned.

10. Your family won’t be boasting to their friends about their son’s new business venture.

9. National news reporters don’t seem to like saying the word Poop.

8. Many would-be reviewers will take short cuts and write reviews without actually reviewing your application. The majority of these reviewers can likely be spotted here.

7. Many will not understand your genius at first. But in time, don’t be surprised if people like Richard Branson, and Oprah start coming to you for business advice.

6. You may want to think of some good excuses in advance for when your child asks you to present at career day.

5. Expect to have a day named in your honor in Germany. German people go crazy for anything related to David Hasselhoff or shit.

4. College kids love it when you blanket their campus in custom printed toilet paper.

3. There are close to 70,000 apps in the apps store now. Your shitty app better be a good one if you hope to break through the clutter.

2. This is one of the few products where Hitler makes for a good spokesmodel.

1. This is probably one of the crappiest ideas you will ever have.
