SNAPP

Convert your websites to Social Applications

Opensocial – the present

Hell a lot of Javascript Yet another API to learn Debugging Caja, makeRequest, Flash URLs

What about the “REST” Still to be released – MySpace, Orkut Shinding ?

AJAX ? Security ?

The problem

I have a website

I need to make it social.

The problem

I have a website User management (registration, login etc) User interacts with the site Some user data visible to users

I need to make it social Should the user really register with me ? Can I know the friends easily ? Can I have better distribution of my content ? Can all this be secure ?

Enter Snapp

Give Snapp some URLs from your website Simple changes to existing backend (PHP/JSP/..) Some changes to user management

NO changes to existing technology stack NO extra javascript coding required (AJAX incl.) NO change in debugging style

So how does this work ?

Social Network

iFrame by Orkut

Website in iFrame

Additional pages required

Give us URLs for various views XML/JSON opensocial data POSTED to URL

Viewer and owner data FOF data Signed data available. Ignore if too complex

PHP and JAVA Classes for data to help parsing

Profile / Canvas (and others) URLs If user exists, log in, else register him Provide a RSS feed to publish user activities
