Elements of Modern Applications: Socialization
RWX / CDX
Fort Lauderdale · November 27 - 30, 2012
About this Presentation
In this session we'll talk about what it means for an application to be social and the benefits of socializing an application. We'll look at libraries for linking applications with existing social networks. We'll also discuss what it takes for an application to form its own network of users connected with each other for a better user experience.
A common attribute of many modern applications is that they inject themselves into their users' social graph. Indeed, many modern applications are a form of social network and most at least integrate with existing social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Socialization of applications not offers a better user experience, but also affords those applications opportunity for exposure to everyone within the social graph of their user base.
