The 'follow on twitter' link needs removing, given the last tweet was summer last year. It looks like the account is dead. I don't know who controls it, but it could get more use. Announcing the meetings, alpha and beta releases, calls for PPC testers etc.
I agree with not linking to the WEB sites of apps as they rarely provide much in the way of info for ordinary users. Perhaps emphasis on the cross platform nature of the apps would be better.
