I know this will probably be downvoted but what do people feel is the best example of social integration on a mobile iOS (what I have most experience with) app. I feel that Foursquare is very good esp the way it integrates friends and alerts you when facebook friends join, for example. I'd be especially interested in hearing examples from smaller apps.

thx

This is an incredibly broad & un-actionable question, which is against the rules. – dnbrv Feb 23 '12 at 2:50
acknowledged as such but also critical for UX development and, I think, legitimate. Broad questions tend to lead to specific answers by the informed and I provided an example of what I think is 'top of the game' UX for mobile. Would like to hear other's opinion. – timpone Feb 23 '12 at 2:56

There are way too many purposes let alone ways to integrate social on mobile platforms: sharing, collaboration, relevancy, discovery, etc. Each of them has its own "best examples". – dnbrv Feb 23 '12 at 3:11
primarily as the question says at the end, I'm looking for examples from smaller apps (not the yelps, fb, etc). Smaller apps would be focused on a single functionality. Also, you mentioned 'purposes' and then provided a bunch of 'means'. You share to increase social interation to produce higher relevancing. Sharing isn't a purpose in and of itself. Also, I'd probably say discovery==relevancy. – timpone Feb 23 '12 at 3:17
The topic is good, but the question is way too broad. Try coming up with a question in the same vein but with a much narrower focus. – DA01 Feb 23 '12 at 3:40
