The last December, a developer on the platform Kynetx, Ed Orcutt, released an application that uses the API of Qwerly to show to people the social networks to Twitter users. The application appears an activable card by placing the cursor on a name or image on Twitter or Facebook, called HoverMe, as such:
The app surprised everyone because it has a small press love and took off with more than 30,000 installations in just 3 days. Ed has improved since its original release, HoverMe add tens of PeerIndex and the value of the Empire Avenue.
Last week I was sitting in the audience at Defrag and Delyn Simons had HoverMe, Kynetx and Qwerly mentioned in his talk saying that HoverMe was a good example of someone another building to a user of an API interface, noting that Qwerly had closed his Web page of the user that not so long ago.
As part of the construction HoverMe, Ed has launched three modules which will be easier for other developers Kynetx used Qwerly, PeerIndex and Empire Avenue in their applications:
The last of these is interesting. Empire Avenue does not have an API that allows to search for symbols with a Twitter ticker handle. Averiguado Ed using his website to make it and built the module to. In esseance, Ed built an API for them within Kynetx. He was also a nice release a module that developers of Kynetx could do too much. I said that Kynetx made easy for him this with built in support for HTTP, regular expressions and selectors in jQuery style.
I am very excited to see applications as HoverMe suceed, but even more excited to see developers as Ed in the platform and they are willing to share their work.
Meanwhile, go install HoverMe and see how it works.
