Want To Show Off All Of Your iPhone Apps Online? Try This Neat Dashboard Widget

If you are using a computer that is running Mac OS X 10.5 or higher, we have a neat little dashboard widget to show you that is able to display all of your apps online so you can share them with your friends and family. A new website called ShareAppScreen.com allows you to share every single app contained within your iTunes account with your friends and family via a single webpage.  The service is surprising simple.  Just download the free widget from their website and install it on your Mac OS X-based computer.  The widget then grabs your app data and displays it in a fairly intuitive and iPhone-esque layout.  You can drag and drop the apps just as you would on your iPhone to easily manage them.  You can also rate your apps, leave comments about them, add videos, and of course share them online. Once you have everything the way you want it in the widget, you can upload your exact layout onto the web.  The widget will bring you to your own personalized webpage where others will be able to see every single app that you own.  When an app is clicked on, it will display what rating you have given it, comments you have made, videos, description of the app, and others will be allowed to download the app from the App Store.  Now you can just send your friends and family members a link to your personalized app page to recommend your apps. The developers intend on adding a search and recommendation function, and if there are enough requests, they intend to create a Windows version. Now, I haven't been able to spend too much time with this website quite yet, but it seems legit.  Here is there privacy policy just in case you have any concerns:
We collect a list of your iPhone applications (personal information is NOT included) from your iTunes Folder. Your account key is generated automatically by web server when you share it first. The account information is random value and encrypted, it cannot identify you.  We will never sell, rent, or share your information with anyone.
So if you are looking for a neat way to share your apps with your friends, and you are using a computer that is running Mac OS X 10.5 or higher, ShareAppScreen.com might be worth a shot. Embedded below is a video of the service in action.
