Continuing the session of Shindig, this is a session about Snapp!
Javascript playing and API to learn, if you are using OpenSocial. And every Social network is not yet compliant with OpenSocial.
One of the more issues is Security.
Problems from the user’s side -
I have a website – User management, user interacts with the site, and some user data is visible to the other users.
How can it be made social? – Should the user really register with me? And would i be knowing my friends easily?
Snapp -
With Snapp, there can be changes made to the code and user management and no changes are done in the debugging URLs.
Some other things needed for Snapp -
- A specific URL to open a specific page that you need to set with some viewer and owner data. FOF data.
- Snapp validates the cookies or IP and then redirects the visitor to the correct server, so the problem of phishing is minimized.
- Profile URLs
- If the user exists, log in or else register him.
- Provide a RSS feed.
Shows how the usage of Myspace REST API for the validation and also exposes OpenSocial API.
