Title: Make your websites social with Glassfish and SocialSite
Abstract:
Project SocialSite is taking a new approach to social networking.
Instead of replacing your existing web site with a Social Networking
system, SocialSite allows you make your existing blogs, wikis, forums
and portals social and all backed by the same Social Graph of users. It
doesn't matter whether your existing applications are Java, Ruby, PHP or
blog/CMS template driven, you can easily add the SocialSite Widgets and
and give your users a complete Social Networking experience right in the
pages of your existing site. You'll be able to provide Personal Profile
and Group Profile pages, a Dashboard for your users to manage their
groups and connections and allow your users to install standard
OpenSocial Gadgets that operate against their network of friends. Your
applications can manage the social graph via the SocialSite web services
and via standard OpenSocial Gadget technology.
In this webinar we'll explain the reasoning behind Project SocialSite,
the basics of OpenSocial and what SocialSite adds, the SocialSite
architecture and its Widgets and Web Services.
