Introduction
The iListIt-Suite is a collection of three different applications. Each of them is created to ease the use of iListIt which is currently under construction. IListIt is a community platform with social network features where users can create collective lists.
Facebook Application
The application is integrated in the social network platform Facebook (www.facebook.com). Users have the possibility to select lists from different categories and it also provides an additional feature to subscribe to different categories which then will be shown after starting the application.
The component diagram shows the connections between the single programm files. To integrate the widget to the social network platform the Facebook library is used, in addition an API call to iListIt gets the desired content. Moreover a connection to a MySQL database management system is needed for the mentioned subscription feature.
Installation
- Add the ilistit application to your Facebook profile via Facebook Application Directory (available as soon as the platform iListIt is released)
Google Gadget
This widget is a simple application which can be embedded to any website and any environment which supports Google Gadgets like the personalized startpage iGoogle. The software consists of two files which are loaded within the Widget Engines and display the content from the iListIt platform.
Installation
- Add the iListIt gadget to your iGoogle page via Google Gadget Directory (available as soon as the platform iListIt is released)
Microsoft Sidebar Gadget
This Windows gadget can be integrated to the Windows Vista Sidebar or to the Windows 7 desktop. The diagram beneath shows the necessary loading of lists from the webserver within an inlineframe, because there is no possiblity to load external content directly by the widget.
