What is the Hubbub About Google Buzz API’s? (Live Blogging Google IO 2010)

I had started in The World of List View By Roman Guy and Adam Powell …

Spent more time in the GoogleWave live coverage of the session so I switched …

Changed Rooms to Whats the Hubbub about Google Buzz API’s?

Came in when the Seesmic guy was presenting ….

Experience with the standards (see photo of slides) …

Seesmic Desktop has plugins (e.g., bing, buzz, etc) …

Seesmic Web is the second platform …

  • Twitter list plus Google Buzz timeline
  • See updates, can comment, can pic where to post multiple at a time …

Seesmic for Android client

  • Mobile space is growing like crazy

Ping.fm (update many status across networks including buzz …) … released today …

MING from SocialWok

Integration with Buzz API’s

  • “People call us the Facebook for GoogleDocs ….”
  • Shows Google Profile, and sees Buzz feed …
  • Go to SocialWok, select which services to connect to in Settings … answer in google buzz name … we use WebFinger to get the profile …
  • Nice page shows what access you are getting … click ok … lets SocialWok post out to GoogleBuzz … can choose from multiple accounts …
  • Writes status update in Socialwok, attaches a googledocs, can click on “cc” to also publish to GoogleBuzz …
  • SocialWok also integrates into gmail, Gmails contextual social gadget …
  • Bottom of the email you can see three profiles
  • Will show the social activities between those people, including emails, documents, etc.
  • We can pull in GoogleBuzz update
  • SocialWok working with Open Web
    • PubSubHubbub to pull feeds into Socialwok (buzz, twitter, facebook, and othe RSS/Atom/Activitystre.ms)
    • ActivityStrea.ms format (so does buzz)
    • missed two more (webfinger and a few others)
  • Using Buzz REST API’s
  • 3 legged Oauth for authentication
  • Publish/CC update to buzz
  • Pulling Google profile and buzz feed into gmail contextual gadget (using gemail address and parsing user part….. missed more)
  • Next slide
  • Cool things about Buzz API’s
    • Open standards based (activitystrea.ms, portable contacts, open social based rest urls for endpoints … it didn’t take much effort to integrate with Buzz because of this)
    • Easy to integrate with Socialwok’s previous work (crosspost namespace even stores the original ID of the post! Can refer back to your original update … activitystrea.ms updates re now POSTed without modication….Posting to buzz before the api’s were defined)
  • Future work for Socialwok and Gogle Buzz
    • Rich media using Buzz attachments mechanisms
    • Comment federation using Salmon
    • Federation of Buzz Search results into Socialwok (keyword monitoring)
    • Private Buzz (ACL management … right now we are showing all public … now you can image posting to private Buzz using authenticated Oauth…)
    • Contacts integration (sing Portable Contacts)
    • google-buzz-api
