Nov 7th Bit.ly, Cligs, Social Mention use API
We’re always looking for new uses of our API; here are three that have caught our attention:
Bit.ly, a URL shortening service, added comments to the "Conversations" section on their info pages:
In addition to aggregating conversations from Twitter and FriendFeed, the info pages about blog posts show the number of comments found on each post. We use an API provided by backtype.com to pull in the comment count as well as the names of people who’ve commented on each post. You can check this out by visiting the info page for this blog post by Umair Haque: http://bit.ly/info/4AUD68
Cligs, another URL shortening service, uses our API to determine if comments around the web include their shortened URLs. The information is available through their "Social Media Mentions" tabs on URL detail pages.
Social Mention, a social media search engine, uses our API to show comments that mention keywords. We are one of many data sources which include popular services such as Twitter, Delicious, Flickr, Digg, et al.
Are you using our API to do something great? – let us know!
