Social Networking considerations (ease of integration, features, cost, etc.)?

Hi,

I'm chugging along towards my first iPhone and Cocos2D release in July and was considering adding a social networking solution to my game.

I was wondering if anyone would share their first hand experience with integrating for Cocos2D:

AGON Online
Plus+
Gamespy
OpenFeint
Scoreloop
CocosLive
Facebook Connect
Twitter

I'm currently using CocosLive which allows unique and anonymous score posts/updates to a global high scores table hosted by Google App Engine. The score table was painless to setup and easily supported my game which needed to record a score and final round for three separate game modes.

I'm in the process of working out how to display the high scores without the JavaScript widget, but was curious about what other solutions have been tried.

Thanks,
Ben

P.S. I am planning to look into Scoreloop, but it is not immediately clear if their high score system will support recording scores, rounds, and my game modes.

Hi!
Not long ago this was asked. Search the forum for it :D

Also i have been posting about some problems i have with both scoreloop and openfeint

I could not get scoreloop to work properly, their demo has some errors also which prevent me from testing the api...

Regarding openfeint, i was able to lauch and test it, and i liked it, BUT it is currently not working proeprly with my cocos2d project...

The api launches correctly but i can't interact with it... no matter what i touch the "touches" don't do anything.

I have already talked to them and they are currently fixing it since "other cocos2d developers have reported the same issue", at least this is what they told me...

Yes, search the forum, I posted regarding this few time ago.

I'm using Scoreloop and it's working fine for me.

How does scoreloop work? Do you pay them anything? I don't understand the 50/50 deal.

Scoreloop is free for developers.

Users got "Coins" and when they run out of coins they must buy them.

You as developer will get a percentage of this buys
