Cliqset is an open platform for creating and exchanging social information. As a secure repository for social data, Cliqset gives developers the tools to easily create, retrieve and manipulate social information across applications and services on behalf of their users.
Unlike traditional social network APIs, Cliqset isn't interested in limiting your access to social data we manage. Cliqset is designed to create open interaction between services allowing you to create software that taps into and helps define the social identity of your users across applications.
As a developer you interact with Cliqset through a robust web service API. Through the API you have the ability to search for, create, retrieve and manipulate all aspects of a social identity, including profile and contact details, relationships and messaging.
At its heart, Cliqset is very much a user-centric system based on the idea that the social graph is owned by the user, not the service. Subsequently, any and all access to social resources requires user authorization. Within Cliqset this is accomplished through either an OAuth trust relationship or user-generated application keys. Both of these options make it easy to securely integrate both web-based and desktop applications without requiring the user to devuldge their password to a 3rd party.
Once you're up and running, Cliqset then helps you to promote your service by broadcasting the events of your users (with their permission) across their social graph, keeping their friends in the loop on what their doing and driving traffic directly back to your site.
Let's work together to build the next generation of the open web. Let's break down the walled gardens and put users back in control of their social information.
