Socialsite is probably more suitable. Shindig exists to provide an
OpenSocial implementation for application development, but doesn't
provide the social networking capability itself. Shindig doesn't
implement any user interface, for example, so it doesn't sound like
what you want. Socialsite uses Shindig internally to provide
OpenSocial support.

Hi Ram,
Thanks for your mail.
Your assumptions are pretty much correct except everyone is using
the same site, it's just a way of networking the different groups
using it together.
I thought I could use shindig because it can integrate with
databases. Theres a mysql example online. So can't I store my people
data in there and then use the shindig framework to show their
activities etc.
I just found socialsite also so maybe that's more suitable or if you
know of any other java based social network solution then let me
know please.
Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean,
If I am not getting you wrong:
1. You just want to have a social network inside your application
2. You would like to have people invite like becoming a friend
3. Probably you would like to invite people from outside to join you
site
If my above assumptions are right, then I think you are at wrong
place.
Shindig is neither an invitation tool nor a social networking site.

Hi Guys,
Sorry if this sounds like a bit of a stupid question but I'm
researching
shindig in a very tight time frame.
I'm involved in building a large scale app and a component of it
will be
social networking.
All the people/group data will more than likely be stored in a db and
then we would like to display the people and their relationships on
the
front-end.
The ability to send invites between people would be good also. From
what
I've read it looks like shindig can do this?
Although am I right in thinking that the original idea of shindig
is a
container where you can get data from other third part open social
compliant apps.
I suppose what I want to do is simpler as in I just want the social
network component as part of our own app and no interaction with
third
parties.
I'm presuming this is possible.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean
