CES Review: What The Buzz Was Actually All About

11 Jan 2011

It seems that everyone was buzzing last week about the major themes of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Mashable wrote a blog post identifying what they felt were the key trends of the show, and we at Room 214 decided to test their theory, which said tablets, gaming (like Microsoft’s Kinect and Nintendo’s 3Ds), connected technology, 4G phones, and all things Android platform would be the biggest themes. I went to Crimson Hexagon, one of our social media research tools, and took a look at the conversation from last week.

New TV: How will your cable provider keep up?

75% “selected online over TV because they were able to watch the show wherever they wanted”
74% “selected online because they were able to watch the show on their own time”

But while DVR and on-demand have changed the way we watch TV, they are a half-step in innovation. And these innovations are being surpassed, daily, by an ever-growing list of internet-based products and content delivery systems.

29 Jun 2010

NOTE: I’ve moved the source code for this project to Git Hub, please get it here:  http://github.com/reallylongaddress/iPhone-Facebook-Graph-API
Preface
In part 1 of this tutorial we walked through obtaining an oAuth 2.0 access token from Facebook via an iPhone (or any iTouch device).  If you wish to go back and review the oAuth 2.0 process in some detail HERE.
In the second part of this tutorial I’ll show you how to leverage my pseudo-API to:

Login to Facebook using oAuth 2.0
Request extended permissions for your mobile application (photos, videos, publish stream and offline access)
Get your profile data
Get your friend list
Get your feed
Post to your feed
Post a photo (via a local image (UIImage) not a url)
Get metadata
Delete a feed post (via a Post)
Get search results
Get (and display) the author’s avatar

Convention
There are 2 APIs being talked about in this tutorial. To avoid confusion, I’m going to refer to them consistently as Facebook’s  ‘Graph API’ and my…
