Being "social" is becoming more and more important for applications, especially in a mobile environment. Almost every distribution already provides the needed infrastructure for enabling applications to connect to the outer world: Telepathy provides your desktop with instant messaging features, and Libsocialweb brings social networking in your digital pocket. Both of them feature a client library (based upon GLib and Qt) to integrate their features inside any application. The talk will showcase Qt's client libraries.

See how your own project can gain social features in a matter of minutes and without changing your existing logic: Multi-user interaction, real-time sharing, and much more; lots of cool features are just a few lines of code away.

After a brief introduction to Telepathy, the talk will focus on the new high-level APIs for Tubes and Libsocialweb. The audience will be first made familiar with the Tube concept, and later it will be explained how Telepathy-Qt4 makes tube usage extremely easy. It will be shown how Tp-qt4's API lets developers who are already using a networking logic or a DBus logic in their application easily make it Tubes-ready without changing a single line of code, thanks to tp-qt4's capability of generating native Qt objects such as QIODevice from a tube.

On the other hand, it will be shown how it is possible to fetch or publish state updates to/from sites such as Twitter and Facebook with just a few lines of code. Throughout the talk, lots of demos and code examples will be shown, making the audience ready to kickstart their own social-enabled application.
