Issue 190 of Web Designer magazine is now available in the shops, and the main feature co-written by me discusses social networking APIs and how to integrate them into your sites or applications.
In the article I show you how to utilise and implement Twitter services including web intents and the @Anywhere service. I also cover Google+, what is available to use within the actual social network, the benefit and use of the +1 button and creating custom hangouts using the API.
Pete Simmons covers Facebook, the Like button and implementing FBML into applications.
Big thanks to the editorial team at Web Designer and Imagine Publishing, and if you haven’t got your copy yet, issue 190 is on sale now!

Badass, dude! Congrats on the article.
Thanks Ben! I’ve been really enjoying writing the magazine contributions this year! Plenty more to come!
Matt, is there any other places to purchase the article? I am working on some social media integration for a site (actually, it is the prime feature) and your article would be a big help. The individual articles you can get on the UK site are all out of stock.
