It has zero relevance to mobile recruiting, but who cares? We love Sponge Bob. And we really like that he’s coming to the iPhone.
According to MobileMarketer:
Nickelodeon signaled its entry onto the iPhone platform with a mini-application, “The SpongeBob Tickler,” on Jan. 20. Since its launch The SpongeBob Tickler, developed in partnership with Mobui, leapt into the top 10 best-selling iTunes applications, receiving more than 3,000 downloads per day.
In addition to “Tickler,” Nick will also be launching “Wacky Walk” and “Diner Dash” for Sponge Bob, as well as adding apps for Dora the Explorer and iCarly. My 2-year-old will be so excited.
Diner Dash, will create a portable SpongeBob-themed version of the popular casual game, Diner Dash, set in the Krusty Krab, the Chum Bucket and other under-the-sea locations. The Wacky Walk application, coming in April, is a platform game that will allow users to tap, swipe, tilt and shake scenery to get obstacles out of SpongeBob’s way.
“The application is an opportunity for Nickelodeon to have a footprint on the iPhone, which offers a unique experience to coincide with each of the shows,” said John Burry CEO of Mobui, New York.
Here’s hoping Patrick gets his own app soon too.
