What is the Hubbub About Google Buzz API’s? (Live Blogging Google IO 2010)
Posted by walter.roth on May 19, 2010 in Events, Live Blogging, Open, Social, Standards | 0 commentsI 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
