Yeah that's not something you cultivate overnight. It helps to be active on twitter -- get to know mac developers there -- follow them (I'm @danwood, for instance), interact with them, make yourself interesting enough that people will follow you. :-) Go to conferences like C4, WWDC, NSConference, etc. and don't miss the parties --- and fight your shyness and meet people. Write an interesting blog, especially something with good content (technical or non-technical) that indie developers will be interested in reading; maybe the various cocoa blog aggregators will pick up your posts.
Unfortunately that advice probably would have been more useful a year or two ago, but it's never too late to join the party! :-) On Mar 4, 2010, at 1:15 PM, Benedict Lowndes wrote: > Great feedback, thank you everybody. > > I really like to idea of doing a mini screencast / animation which loads > straight up, I'll explore this one. > > Yes, I don't really have any contacts in the Mac world, either developers or > journalists, so I'm going to have to do a lot of reaching out.... hmm, and I > just want to get on with building my next idea! > > Thanks again, > Ben > > -- Dan Wood Karelia Software — Sandvox for the Mac : http://www.karelia.com/ Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/danwood http://twitter.com/karelia One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. it is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous — Carl Sagan ------------------------------------ MacSB email guidelines: http://tinyurl.com/2g55d6 Use MacSB-Talk for off topic messages: http://groups.google.com/group/macsb-talk Yahoo!
