Web App Architecture in an Age of Widgetized Social Graphs

Build smart websites that take advantage of open user data APIs across multiple platforms

Synopsis

Successful widgets span multiple platforms, connecting back to a central online hub for dynamic data, rich static content, and more. How can companies design their web presence as an agnostic data hub, connected to many different widget platforms over time?

Open data formats create paths from the biggest hubs of activity on the web back to your website. Learn how your site can take advantage standards such as OpenID, OAuth, Portable Contacts, and Data Availability to bring your customers and their data back to your site wherever they may interact with content on the Web.

This session will walk-through the architecture of a major web application connected to contacts, friends, and profile data on many social networks. You will learn how to utilize external data to strengthen user data and stay up-to-date with your members' off-site options.
