How Does Hootsuite Integrate Content from Facebook and Twitter?
-
I thought Facebook didn't permit sites to display Facebook feeds/content outside of Facebook platforms? Regardless how is Hootsuite integrating content posted by you and from your friends into their convenient dashboards? How is it pulling Twitter content?
-
Answer:
Facebook, Twitter and most other social networks and web-based applications including HootSuite have http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_programming_interfaces that allow third parties to access public information and information accessible by your account or profile by authorizing HootSuite to access your account information through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OAuth. This is the method that HootSuite and tools like it use to pull in that information upon authorization by a given user/account in order to allow you to manage and monitor your accounts and social networks.
