Hitesh started the topic throwing some light on social media platforms and media sharing through them.He told it is growing and evolution in technology is helping it to grow fast.
Simar addressed that the no of users in social media sites are growing so fast and the changing thinking towards life is provoking not even youths as well as each person to be active on youtube,Flickr,Slideshare,Twitter,Twitpic and Twitsnaps.People like to share where they are and what they are doing among their friends and others.

Members were asking questions to simar that how media sharing could be helpful in increasing traffic on a particular site and so is the revenue part. simar answered them that you need to be active on social media platforms and must use the search algorithm to find out the trends and right people to talk about your products/concept and then see the magic.

Meanwhile we ordered our breakfast and enjoyed it a lot and discussion moved on to some technology part.Hitesh told how changing technology is helpful and affecting social media platforms like Twitter and facebook.He told that they get more than 50% of traffic from third party application and vice-versa.

Some good news to share with all our users- TwitSnaps.com now supports OAuth. With the implementation of OAuth, it becomes more convenient for you to use TwitSnaps. You don’t have to worry about security issues anymore. Unlike Twitpic, which requires you to share your password details, TwitSnaps now allows you to use the application without sharing your Twitter credentials.

What is OAuth?

As per Apiwiki.Twitter.com, “OAuth is an authentication protocol that allows users to approve application to act on their behalf without sharing their password.” To learn more about OAuth, please click here.

Why we implemented OAuth?

We implemented OAuth because Twitter recommends it. Indeed, Twitter has already announced that at some point in time, deprecation of Basic Auth would take place. Also, some of our users wanted OAuth to be implemented on TwitSnaps.  These were two of the factors that led TwitSnaps to adopt OAuth.

But we haven’t completely done away with Basic Auth, as is visible on our site. We allow users a choice- you can  either log in using your Twitter credentials or use OAuth to activate your TwitSnaps account.

What about others?

Hopefully, other Twitter photoshare applications, such as Twitpic, would adopt OAuth too. It would help Twitter to grow into a more secure network.  Do tell us what you think about our OAuth initiative? We love to listen to your feedback and suggestions.
