facebook-twitter-linkedinAfter getting some of my friends request today I developed this project and released as Open Source GPL License. This is a php, jquery base application.This applications uses the api of facebook, linkedin and twitter to update user’s status on those sites. So you’ll publish one status that will update on 3 sites instantly.

This application will be very helpful to learn fbconnect, facebook extended permission and api to update status, oAuth for twitter and linkedin authentication. And also to learn linkedin api, twitter api usage.

visit http://thinkdiff.net/demo/fblinkedtwit/index.php to see the demo.

On the right side of the demo, you’ll see FBConnect button, Give Twitter Access and Give Linkedin Access Button.

If you want to update status in facebook, after connecting the site using FBConnect you’ve to give special permission by clicking Status Update permission.  Otherwise facebook status will not update.

On the right side write something and click Update Status. If you already give access permission for facebook, linkedin and twitter your user status will update.
