developing applications is never easy specially if you are planning to make a dynamic application.

there are different API's available as of now and all of them has different platforms. you can't make a dynamic application without considering these platforms.

the solution that the researchers were thinking is to come up with a single API that is compatible with other API so that the user will be allowed to add a new connection whenever they want to add a new social media in their dashboard which is not yet available in the database of the proposed system.

API blender. it has an ability to blend existing API's to make multiple web services interaction become easier. API blender is using Python in generating their codes.

OAUTH- an application which is also known as Open standard for Authentication. like it's name, it is used for authentication in other websites, it is used for acting in your behalf like posting, sharing pictures and other stuff which is stored on one website. i.e. you share a photo in 9gag to your facebook account.


OAUTH is complementary to OpenID but completely different to it.
on OAUTH, there is what you call OAUTH protocols for different sites/service provider,
like facebook and it's corresponding protocol -2.0, tumblr -1.0a and so on and so forth.


BrowserID- this one is built by and for Mozilla
this is similar to OpenID but has certain distinctions/features it uses email addresses as an identifier, it is focused on privacy, and is intended to be fully integrated in the browser

OPENID- is a tool in the internet. it would help to a user to get identified in his/her social website or any other website. moreover, it's like an ID with other features for various website.these "other features" is the user can associate information with this i.e. email,name, address and etc

OpenID also makes signing in to websites simplier, it would also make you less forgetful because, with your openID, you only have to remember one account username and password.it also makes your logging in Secure. what's cooler than that?!

it's like having a different multiple user accounts but remembered as one single user.
anyway's here's a simplier taught of open ID

• it helps you signup,login in other websites
• is simple
• is a proof of identity (a way to prove you you really are )
• and  secure

Gigya's server to server API uses REpresentational State Transfer (REST) like interface, this means that the method calls for the API are made over the internet by sending HTTP requests (get or post) to the Gigya REST API server and it's response will be returned as XML-JSON. The REST API will applied with the compliance with OAuth 2.0 standard or with the proprietary authorization method.

Social Media- according to leplan &llanentein

social networking is so viral nowadays. everyone has it and everybody is talking about it. there are over 100 social networking sites available on the web as of now and i am pretty sure that each one of us owns an individual accounts for not less than five of these social networking sites.

web posting. it is the most common function that each social networking has. every user is allowed to post to each social networking sites and we do post to all of our managing accounts often.

how do we update our different social networking accounts? we update by posting to one site then copy and then jump to the other site and paste and so on. . we keep on doing this process all these time but not with facebook and twitter because we can now connect these two. but how about the others?

multi-poster application is a web-based application that allows a user to update their different social networking accounts simultaneously such as facebook, twitter, tumblr, LinkedIn and other social networking sites.

nowadays, there are different web plug-ins available for multiple web posting but the user have to click a specific icon of a social networking site of where they wanted to share this blog/post.

figure 1.0 - web plug-in

aside from this, wordpress has a different plug-in called network publisher that allows the user to publish their blog posts on different networking sites by simply entering a specific API key to a corresponding box to connect their  wordpress account to different social networking sites. yes it helps, but the problem is that their latest blog posts does not publish automatically to those different social media they manage right after clicking the publish button. still, they have to manually share every blog post to publish it to different social networks.

figure 1.1 - network-publisher interface for wordpress plug-in

so what we are trying to propose is to create a web-based multi-poster application that allows a user to update their different social networking accounts simultaneously on one-click. this application might answer the problem of managing multiple social networking accounts in posting. majority of the users will be beneficial to it especially for the bloggers and business firms in promoting their sites.

the concept of this multi-poster application is simple.  publish web posts to different social networking sites simultaneously on one click. after clicking the "publish/ok" button, your connected social networks managing accounts will be automatically updated. unlike those existing web plug-ins, you are no longer have to share every post to every social networking sites.

aside from that you will be given the freedom to "choose".  if you have connected your 10 managing accounts and you only wanted to publish your latest web post to some of these, well, you dont have to worry. you will be allowed to choose on what specific social networking sites your post will be available after publish.

by using this multi-poster application, your web posting will become simpler, easier and faster.

Gigya is a very useful tool in developing  software . it helps you to socialize your site instantly like social sign-in, sharing and commenting. Gigya have scripts for these that do work in a minute. Though Gigya is very helpful, still we have to evaluate its PRO's and CON's.

Pro's:

• Flexible and Customizable - they have a handy wizard-like tool that can help you to customize everything. aside from that, you can also modify its actual javascript code when you need
• It is Fast - they store a lot of  key information in cache so whenever you call a function they give immediate response.
• Direct API calls to Providers - you dont have to stick into their platform. Gigya can do a direct API calls to facebok and you can also use it to other social networking sites such as twitter and other providers after some modifications
• Multiple Social Network Connections - they have this showAddConnectionsUI that enables a user to establish simultaneous multiple social networks connection.
