Carrboro Creative Coworking

Info from Blake about the next Cocoa meetup:

Carrboro Cocoa Consortium Meetup - a regular iphone and cocoa developer event
Date: Tuesday June 9, 7pm - 9pm
Where: Carrboro Creative Coworking

Topic: Going Social w/ Cocoa Touch - Integrating with Facebook & Twitter
Speakers: Blake Watters & Jeremy Ellison of Objective 3, Rachit Shukla of Two Toasters

Facebook and Twitter offer us an exciting set of tools to build applications that are better connected, more viral, and often just more fun than our standalone offerings. At the June meetup, the group will examine the development possibilities and marketing opportunities available to us through social media integration.

From a development perspective, we'll examine:
- Facebook Connect for the iPhone
- MGTwitterEngine, a full-featured Twitter library for Cocoa & Cocoa Touch
- Various goodies from around the web

On the marketing front, we'll discuss a few questions:
- How can social media extend our application lifecycle and bring users back more often?
- How can smart utilization turn our users into recruitment and advertising assets?
- How can Facebook & Pinchmedia interoperate to provide killer market insight for my app?

Come join us as we explore the technical aspects & business of utilizing social media in iPhone & iPod Touch applications. As usual, we'll meet up at Carrburritos at 6pm to grab some delicious food before heading over for the meetup. Hope to see you there!
