The Lockergnome brand and Chris Pirillo know their technology, and now they're opening the doors up to a new iPhone App tracking site just for you and run by you.The idea is similar to Digg in that you can submit iPhone apps and people can vote them up or down, giving you a nice community snapshot of what app is performing, and what app isn't at any given time.
It also has implications for when new apps come out, and you want to be the first kid at school to get it.
Sure, you can read reviews in the Apple Store, but you don't get the full story like you do on a site with simplicity and ease of use.
It's rough around the edges but the idea seems clear. Submit, rate, and interact. But the difference here is that it's so granular and dedicated solely to iPhone Apps.
Chris gave us the early link to the Apple App Tracker too, and we'd like to see one for PC apps and maybe even Linux distributions. Since he can build communities, it'll be interesting to see how big of a community pops up around this new venture.

So do we have to manually enter all our apps? Or is there some kind of fancy scan that will do that for us?
