LinkedIn launches API

As rumors continue to swirl around LinkedIn’s possible IPO, the professional social network is steadily adding useful features that help transcend the platform’s technology into other applications.

LinkedIn recently launched two-way integration with Twitter and also rolled out a plug-in to pull in your LinkedIn contacts within Microsoft Outlook. And today, LinkedIn is opening upits API to start letting developers make applications that tap into LinkedIn’s social network.

While LinkedIn is releasing 11 different APIs, they fall into three distinct categories. First, developers will be able to let users easily access their information, profiles, connections and messages via oAuth login. The second functionality is to give users the ability to make actionable decisions about information, but letting them message their LinkedIn contacts, post updates, accept contacts and more. And the third piece of the puzzle is search. So developers will now be able to embed LinkedIn search in other applications. The social network’s search engine was re-launched last year and has done over one billion queries in this year alone.

Over the past year, LinkedIn has made select business development partnerships with technology companies for integrations, such as IBM, Microsoft, Research In Motion, and Twitter. While these partnerships created additional channels for LinkedIn’s platform, the opening up of the social network’s API is no doubt going to expand its presence across the web, perhaps representing a new level of growth for the social network.

LinkedIn has already tested the API with several developers and applications are already going to be launching in the near future. Twitter, MySpace and Facebook client TweetDeck will be integrated with LinkedIn in its next version. From the client, you’ll be able to see a stream of updates from your contacts, view profiles of contacts and comment and message contacts directly from TweetDeck. Posterous, Box.net, and Ribbit will all launch LinkedIn integrations in the near future as well.

LinkedIn’s VP of search and platform products, Adam Nash, told me that over the past year, the network has received 4,000 requests from developers to integrate LinkedIn with their applications. Nash says that this is the first step for LinkedIn to become an open ecosystem and there are future plans for additional APIs to be released down the line.

50 million users strong, LinkedIn could expand its already powerful growth with development of third-party applications. It’s a no-brainer for LinkedIn to open up its API. As Twitter’s platform has shown, an open ecosystem produces innovative and sometimes, extremely popular, products around a product. And it doesn’t hurt to have a loyal developer community as well.

Wikipedia going bankrupt?

Is Wikipedia going bankrupt? They've started advertising on their site for people to donate to them. Also with the falling economy and no other way to make money it is highly possible. If they are going bankrupt what will happen when they collapse threw? Will someone like Google, Yahoo, Uhhmm, or Microsoft buy them? If they do fall threw one thing is for sure we will have a bidding war on our hands. But then its also possible its just there new board member creator a Craigslist being his normal strange self.

What I want for Christmas is my corporate Twitter account

Thats right Twitter is launching accounts... that cost money... by the end of the year! Now don't worry you can still get your free account OR you can get your new and improved "corporate account" This is taking advantage of corporate advertisement and use of Twitter by some corporate companies such as Coke and Star bucks but the question is will people by theses accounts or stick to the old ones? They must think everyone will switch over... or at-lest the business will but still I think there getting to pushy for money... Gosh, the economy these days.

Myspace to buy iMeem

Myspace the large social network has bough iMeem a music social network and most of its assets for a rumored somewhere around 1 million dollars.

The one question is will their service live on or will it fade into nothingness like it was thought Myspace was turning into and FreindFeed is showing the first signs of doing. Well, according to sources thats up to the record labels. As far as we know none of the deals with the record labels are being terminated and Myspace intends to push iMeem on so it will still stay live and busy.

The roll out continues Uhhmmgames V.2 now live

Uhhmmgames a not very popular branch of Uhhmm was manly used by the users of Teenspace V.2 a site for the teens to hang out on has upgraded. It used to only have one link in the entire Uhhmm data base to it, that link was from the Teenspace home page. It has now upgraded and has links on all the Uhhmm home pages and other skins. The reason for this is because of this V.2 it is now a search engine and an arcade you can search for games on any game site or play games right there on the Uhhmm arcade.

Thats right after 2 of the major search engines come out with a music search a smaller search engine comes out with a music AND lyrics search they posted some preview pics nothing fancy yet but our sources say they just started the project yesterday so we might not see it in testing for a while.

We know there hard to see, but they have labels that separate the lyrics and music from each other or you can just click one or the other and it will only search sites labeled with that one.

Google Music search

Last week rumors got out that Google Lastfm Myspace and other sites were teaming up to make a search engine to enrich the Google experience but it does more than just find music it offers audio streaming one click buying and many more things. Here is something that will happen once this comes out to the open web.

1. Itunes store popularity will decrees

With Google allowing you to buy music from almost any music site the apple itunes store will seem like its small.

2. Myspace is back

This will most likely incress myspace users and gives myspace a BIG help that is needed they have been falling this might be their break threw to get back to the top.

3. Google will crush Yahoo even more

Besides the fact that Yahoo came out with a music search a few days ago it will smash Yahoo into the ground even more as if Yahoo can't make something then days later Google comes out with the same thing.

4. Drop in users by sties like Playlist?

So heres the question with this new amazing search engine will sites who didn't get in on this deal like Playlist lose there newly found popularity from this search engine and other sites like lastfm take over. Or will they still continue to grow?
