Intridea launches a Ruby API for the Bebo Platform

April 3rd, 2008

Intridea, a development shop with offices in DC and Berkeley, has released a client that provides a Ruby on Rails interface for the Bebo Platform called Beboist.

The plugin was designed from the ground-up to be flexible enough to accommodate any changes to the API, while at the same time providing a clean interface that will be familiar to most Rails developers.

This is the first Rails binding for Bebo that I’ve seen. (rfacebook is a popular Ruby interface to the Facebook Platform APIs - thanks Tom). Nice job, Intridea!

Check out RFacebook - a Ruby Gem for generic Facebook API work, and a Rails plugin that provides Rails specific access to the Gem code.

Been around a long time. and lots of people are using it.

Cool, I wonder if this would let you easily run a web app with a standard rails app, and then use something like Facebooker (or rFacebook) for a facebook interface, Beboist for a bebo interface, and other libraries for other social networks?

Maybe it would mainly involve writing new .snml.erb templates in addition to your .html.erb and .fbml.erb templates? That would be cool…
