How to format Facebook/Twitter dates (from the JSON feed) in Objective-C

Question

For my iPhone application...

I am looking for a way to format the Facebook created_time JSON property value.

\"created_time\": \"2010-12-0

something similar to this should do the first one for you. i would double check against the docs, as i may have capitalised the wrong letters.

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"YYYY-MM-ddThh:mm:ss z"];
NSDate *date=[NSDateFormatter dateFromString:twitterDate];
