I am trying to find out the difference between orkut & Google Friend Connect. Basically i am building a Web application. Lets say users can submit any interesting blogs/pictures in my web-app. Now after submitting, they should be able to share the same info with their Orkut friends. For this 1) I would like to use open social REST API to retreive user's friends from orkut. And then send the info/message to their "Messages" Inbox. How i can acheive this?
I read some where about this - With Orkut open social api, user should download my "orkut APP" in to their orkut profile physically. Other wise i can not send any REST API from my web-app for the currently logged-in user. ( might be the issue with shared key). If this is the case, it is almost USELESS as i cannot expect the user to download my orkut app into their profile. IS THIS CORRECT? As a workaround, some people suggested to use Google Friend Connect REST API. So using this, i can just send invites to my orkut friends with out actually installing orkut app. But if i send like this, is this sends an email? or can i send an actual message to my friends so that it will land into my orkut friends "Messages" Inbox? Also, i learned that i can not send any scrap from my web-app. The best thing i can assume to make my web-app as social is sending a message. Sorry for the long text.. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Satish --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Orkut Developer Forum" group.
