Genapi - A Generic Social Networking API.

Honours Research at Stellenbosch University.

Premise:
Learning one API that interacts with social networks is easier and better to use than having to learn and use several social networking APIs. In the process of abstracting the complexity of several social networks to one API, some flexibility and complexity might be lost. Is the result useful?

A front-end for the API was developed below.

The testing of the service is over. Thanks for helping! You can still play with it below.
