    Either my google-fu is crippled, or the ratio of blogging to tweeting in the iphone dev community is the soul of wit, but I tried to compile a list of active iphone developer blogs and couldn't come up with more than about 40 or so.

    I also spent far too long trying to survey the sigs around the forums and again, twitter. If you're keeping a quasi-active iPhone development blog I'd be much obliged for a reply here or a comment over at my blog with a link.

    iphone development blog list

    I was able to justify about 40 different blogs that held my interest and were updated in the last couple of months. I would have expected more, though. It feels like I had to dig deep to find even those.

    When you say development blog do you mean a blog about development in general or a blog from a developer?

    Well, I mean both. I don't think there's enough of either to be discriminating. Generally speaking though it does seem that companies are more often keeping blogs while individuals are more often using twitter.

    We blog mostly about our own games, like updates and new releases, but we're *slowly* starting a tutorial section for new devs looking to get started.

    hmmm I think you didnt work hard enough ;-)

    I see you are missing an important one that Ive been reading for a while now from the famous Owen Goss of Streaming Colour (yes the creator of Dapple and writer of the now famous story about the number of downloads/sales on the AppStore, this is how I go hook to it :D).

    He also started a video blog (vlog) series on YouTube :

    Great blog! A great mix between discussing game development and the business side of things.

    Our blog is at:

    http://howlingmoonsoftware.com/wordpress/

    We try to keep a mix of pretty screenshots and moderately technical write ups of what we've been up to. I think it should be of interest to a pretty wide audience.

    the FABRIK now also has a blog. Currently it's mostly about news on our games, in the near feature there will be some posts about our experiences while developing.
