Socialcast Introduces Official Developer API For Cross-Company Collaboration

Custom HTML Code at Top [Sample No.2]picture-27Socialcast, the realtime collaboration software platform, today announced the release of its official developer API after weeks of beta-testing. Essentially, Socialcast lets employees in companies communicate via activity streams, create groups, and share links, file, and knowledge across the enterprise. With the new Socialcast API, both internal IT folks or outside developers can extend the product with new functionality. And companies who are partners can expose their Socialcast activity streams to each other for cross-enterprise collaboration. Rather than just confining the stream to one organization, this would make it more like a true enterprise version of Twitter, or the recently acquired FriendFeed, where you may follow colleagues inside and outside your company. The API allows developers to build native clients or internal applications, accessing the Socialcast activity stream. To get access to the Socialcast API, you'll have to already have an account, and from there, you'll find all the information. Socialcast Founder and CEO Timothy Young mentioned that Socialcast aims to be a platform, and not a tool like Yammer, or Twitter. Socialcast currently has over 7,000 companies, both free and paid accounts. When asked about the security of the API and Socialcast platform, Young acknowledged that security is a big concern and that Socialcast takes security very seriously with SSL encryption.
