I don't think so. No, I'm not affiliated with them what-so-ever. But I've read about the site on many, many blogs and it has been referenced by many commercial sites as well. iusethis is improving by leaps and bounds almost weekly. iusethis.com is obscure?

I knew about awaken and alarm clock pro, but found out about irooster and aurora later. Anyway, thanks for stopping by. Yeah, but from the looks of it there, they seem less known.

It works great, supports openid, and it's gaining more and more users. The personalized RSS feeds work great for app updates. It's really a wonder how Web 2.0 happens when there are people like Jim around.... I absolutely love iusethis. It works great, supports openid, and it’s gaining more and more users.

I mean really. iUseThis is such an obscure site that this is the first time I've seen it mentioned ANYWHERE outside their own domain. It's used so little that 260 votes is obscenely high in the 2 to 10 vote norm. I have no problem with the idea, or the people who run it. But this site is absolutely useless for finding small, relatively unknown apps because the only things listed are the more popular apps that can easily be seen at VT, MU, Softpedia and dozens of other sites. I like this idea of users voting for the apps, rather than download count deciding what is popular (how many times have you downloaded an app and tossed it after one use). Perhaps some kind of cross marketing or sponsorships with other popular sites can bring this site some much deserved publicity. I truly hope you got payed to write this article.
