SIWOW’s Path to Social Graph for Online Business
1.1 Connect
Social optimization begins with a strong connection. And no one connects you to the
social web - and keeps you connected - as seamlessly and easily as SIWOW. The
SIWOW platform is a simple way to connect your online business to all the major social
networks. Features include:
1.1.1 Unified Social Graph API

connectivity with minimum demand on your development resources. Our Social Graph
API is OAuth2.0 compliant and fully standards-based linked of data (Semantic Web
Ontologies), making it easier than ever to connect your site to all the major social sites
and protocols.

monitors and updates our SaaS platform, making them immediately available to you, with
no work necessary on your end. Your implementation is always backwards compatible.

connectivity with minimal investment, and the ability to adjust capacity to instantly meet
your changing needs.

removing all barriers to connecting. SIWOW’s solution increases conversion by offering
the greatest number of identity options for your site and your users, including:

Adding Facebook for Websites is a great start; however, participation doubles when

including Twitter, Yahoo!, LinkedIn, AOL and Google. On average, SIWOW client see a
25% increase in registrations.

their accounts to one or more social networks accounts. SIWOW’s solution integrates
your own system with the social networks so you and your users don’t have to start from
scratch.
1.2.3 Enriching Profile Data
When users choose to connect using a social network identity, your site can access and
apply rich profile data, streamlining the registration process and increasing conversions.
Additionally, email addresses are pre-validated by the identity provider, enabling sites to
focus on welcoming visitors and highlighting key features, rather than the email
confirmation process.
1.2.4 Standardized Data (Linked of Data)
Field structure and nomenclature for user data isn’t standard across social APIs, so
SIWOW standardizes it for you. This makes it easy for site owners to access and apply
user data in a uniform fashion.
1.3 Share
SIWOW makes sharing easier than ever before, increasing your users’ activity and your
site’s productivity. Our ‘dynamic’ approach - prompting users to share content and activity
at the right moments - gets your content into the top social feeds, driving high-quality
referral traffic. And our Share plugin gives you a plug-and-play way for your users to

Messenger and MySpace.

from your site. For a logged in social media user, the plugin will give preference to and
highlight objects her friends have interacted with.

user clicks the Activity button on your site, a story appears in the user's friends' News
Feed with a link back to your website.

celebrities, and restaurants, use the Social Graph protocol to specify information about
the entity. Activity Button already have you including the Social Graph tags on your Web
page, your page becomes equivalent to a social media page. This means when a user
clicks a Activity button on your page, a connection is made between your page and the
user. Your page will appear in the "Likes(Activities) and Interests" section of the user's
profile, and you have the ability to publish updates to the user. Your page will show up in
