In The Developer’s Guide to Social Programming, Mark Hawker shows developers how to build applications that integrate with the major social networking sites. Unlike competitive books that focus on a single social media platform, this book covers all three leading platforms: Facebook, OpenSocial, and Twitter. Hawker identifies the characteristics of superior, highly engaging social media applications, and shows how to use the Facebook platform, Google Friend Connect, and the Twitter API to create them.
You’ll find practical solutions and code for addressing many common social programming challenges, from site registration to search, blog commenting to creating location-based applications. Hawker concludes by walking you through building a complete, integrated social application: one that works seamlessly across all leading platforms, and draws on powerful features from each. Coverage includes
- Working with the Twitter API, including the Search API, Lists API, and Retweets API
- Authenticating users with Twitter OAuth
- Mastering the Facebook API, FQL, and XFBML
- Utilizing the Facebook JavaScript Library for creating dynamic content, and animation
- Exploring the Google Friend Connect JavaScript API, and integrating with the OpenSocial API
- Using Facebook’s tools for sharing, social commenting, stream publishing, and live conversation
- Using the PHP OpenSocial Client Library with Google Friend Connect
- Creating, testing, and submitting Google Friend Connect gadgets

I own a legal services business and lately social networking is the way to go along with my website of course. I just joined a social network specifically for attorneys, however what about facebook and twitter? Is there any reasons why one might be better than the other for my purpose? Do either have a search for occupation or attorney groups?
Answer by littlegogi
I suggest you personally contact any attorney to further your legal services business. Forget Facebook and Twitter.

So i have no friends of anyone that would care to know what im doing with my life. So i haven’t bothered to sign up for twitter since it would seem kind of pointless.
Maybe im wrong though, is it still worth it to sign up if your friendless.
Posted: March 28, 2010 at 12:22 pm | Tags: popular, Twitter
Not only for Twitter, but Bebo, Friendster, Facebook, Myspace, meetup.com etc… how did these sites get popular? These sites rely on other people to be members to really take full advantage. What marketing techniques did these sites use to go from 0 members to millions? What about when these sites first started with only a couple hundred users? Because these social networking websites rely on a mass influx on users, how did Friendster and Twitter sustain themselves in the beginning?
Also, I noticed these companies got huge Venture Capitalist funding…what does a website need with 30million in funding from multiple VCs?
Any ideas? Are there case studies I can review?
