Twitter API
Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging website that allows its users to send updates (aka tweets) which are text-based posts with a maximum 140 character limit.
The Twitter API is an open XML framework that allows any external website to post and pull data. This allows us the ability to create custom applications that can interact with Twitter and every Twitter member.
Applications can even authenticate members giving the ability to push and pull member specific data such as latest posts, replies, direct messages, and more. This is a powerful method for growing a strong online social presence.
WebDevStudios has worked extensively using the Twitter API and can help plan, develop, launch, and manage any Twitter specific application. Twitter API functionality can also be developed into new or existing websites allowing any website a hook into Twitter.

Last week BuddyPress announced the launch of their much anticipated beta release.
BuddyPress is a set of WordPress MU plugins that adds social networking functionality to any standard WordPress MU installation. Each BuddyPress component is independent, meaning you can choose which features you’d like and are not required to install all features on your site.
Andy Peatling, the developer behind BuddyPress, did an excellent interview on WordPress Weekly last Friday. In the interview Andy goes in to detail on BuddyPress features and functionality, the future of BuddyPress, developing BuddyPress specific components, and much more. As always Jeff did a great job with the interview.
We recently started development on our first production BuddyPress website. We are excited to work with the new BuddyPress plugins and can’t wait to launch this great new website. If you are interested in creating your own BuddyPress website please contact us today to learn how WebDevStudios.com can help!
