Can I create a reader of my twitter / facebook posts? - Ron Guilmet - 04-28-2014 06:07 PM

I want to create a visual basic program that displays my twitter and facebook posts.

If someone could point me in the right direction. I'm lost. I've tried rss, but doesn't work

Twitter and Facebook both using the open graph authentication system, which allows you to authorize your program to view your data from your account, and then retrieving using URL's. See:

http://apiwiki.twitter.com/OAuth-FAQ
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph

You can setup your "application" (required for any use of opengraph) for facebook at http://www.facebook.com/developers

Good luck. It can be a challenge to get started with.
