Cliqset is a platform for enabling and promoting the open exchange of social information. Comprised of a RESTful API and intuitive, web-based social management tools, Cliqset makes it easy to create, manipulate and exchange social information without sacrificing user control or privacy.

Acting as the system of record for a users' social information, Cliqset is able to provide applications with the most current profile information, contact details, relationships and messages for an individual user. Then as a user updates their information through any Cliqset-enabled website or application, those changes are immediately published and accessible to all other Cliqset applications. Most importantly, unlike other so-called "open" platforms, Cliqset isn't read-only. Cliqset has been designed from the ground to allow developers full control (read, write and delete) over social information.

Through Cliqset the users' social experience is dramatically improved, making previously impossible features possible. Features like:

• Being able to notify a user which of their friends are using your system the moment they sign up, and then letting them know when more of their friends arrive.
• Allowing users to search for friends and family and establish relationships across social applications.
• Exchanging messages across social applications.
• Keeping user profile information and relationships in sync regardless of what social network the updates were made to.
• Notifying a users' friends (on other social networks) when they do something in your application like posting a blog entry or adding a new photo.

It's time to build the next generation of the social web. An open mesh of innovative application services, sharing and building off of each other with a consistent user identity at the center.
