StatusNet Social Widgets

About

The StatusNet JavaScript Social Widgets provide anyone with an easy way to seamlessly integrate a StatusNet instance into other sites and web pages without requiring extensive knowledge of JavaScript programming (think: cut-n-paste). They are implemented in JavaScript, HTML and CSS and run inside the web browser. They are powered by the StatusNet JavaScript API.

The StatusNet JavaScript API and Social Widgets were inspired by Twitter's @Anywhere API, and were originally created as a 2010 Google Summer of Code (GSoC), by Arunoda Susiripala @arunoda.
