It has been an exciting and busy few weeks since our last post from SXSW. As we mentioned in Austin, we have been hard at work on a Public Beta of a Developer Version of the Viafo Services Gateway. Well that day has come as we are proud to announce that Services Gateway is now publicly available, and free at (http://dev.viafo.com).

Viafo’s Services Gateway reduces the cost of integrating and maintaining Services integration. By adding our free reference code into your App code, your App will be deeply integrated with all the major services, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and more. Services can be added and managed from the cloud without ever having to update your apps. Reference code is available for iPhone, Android, HTML5 (Sencha and jQuery Mobile libraries provided), Samsung Bada, Nokia QT for S60. Additional features include:

Authentication Support: oAuth 1.0 & 2.0 support through the Viafo Service Discovery API

Supported Interactions: Update Status, Reply, Comment, Message, Like/Follow, Get Friends, Check-In

Supported Social Networks (Q1 2012): Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, LinkedIn, Foursquare
