Plans for the Weekend? Get your iPhone and Get Going

It's Friday, and you know what that means: Time to get out of the office and go have some fun. But how do you find out where your friends are, and what's going on in your city? Why, with your iPhone of course!

Going.com lets you find cool things to do in your city, and they've got a newly updated iPhone app out. In addition to telling you about events to check out, people to see, and places to be seen right in your own city, you can share where you are with your friends by updating your status on Facebook and Twitter, right from the app. Once you're there, you can let your friends know what you think about the event with ratings, comments, and photos.

Browse popular events around town, share them with friends, get on the RSVP list, see who else is going and get all the info on where it's going down. Sign up at going.com (or log in using Facebook Connect), get the Going App, and get Going!

Of course, if you'd rather just spend a quiet evening over a dinner and a movie with a loved one, there's an app for that, too. Grab the Moviefone app to find out what's playing, view trailers, and get showtimes and directions to theaters nearby.

Either way, use your iPhone to check out what's going on near you, and have a great weekend!

About The Team

Hi. I'm Edwin Aoki, and I'm a Technology Fellow at AOL. Contrary to popular belief (and wishful thinking) this doesn't mean I get to sit around and be fed grapes while thinking Deep Thoughts. In fact, I can't remember the last time I had any Deep Thoughts, let alone the last time anyone fed me grapes. But I'm thrilled to be part of the iPhone development effort at AOL, and I hope to provide some perspective on what it is we do here, why we do it, and to hear your thoughts on how we can do it better. You can follow my updates @edwinaoki.

Hi, I'm Christina Wick, Technical Director for the AOL Mac team. My team is responsible for the development and testing of all the desktop Mac applications as well as a bunch of iPhone apps including AIM, AOL Radio, SHOUTcast, touchTXT, and many more. I took over managing the Mac team a little over two years ago when AOL decided to "Get Back on the Mac." Since then, we have released numerous desktop products and iPhone apps. We look forward to bringing more exciting apps to the Mac community. I'm on Twitter, if you would like to follow me - @ChristinaWick.

My name is Lee Givens and I'm the Product Lead for the Mac products at AOL and you can find me on the Mac@AOL blog too. When I'm not at the office, I'm probably in line at the local Apple Store whenever a new iPhone is released (actually, when anything from Apple is released :) I've been at AOL since 2007 and lead product management for Mac and iPhone apps. During my spare time, I collect vintage Macs (and Apple IIs) and root for the Univ. of Maryland Terps. If you would like to follow me, I'm at @MacGivens.
