imTell.in

imTell.in is a web app that allows you to update your Twitter and Facebook status in one click. On a number of occasions, I want to update both Facebook and Twitter with the same status. There are definitely apps available in both the Android Market as well as the Apple App Store. I, however, wanted my own and I wanted it to be web based.

Using the Facebook and Twitter OAuth APIs, I’m able to authenticate and update the status on both networks. I store no account information other than the user’s Facebook ID and Twitter ID (not their user name/email). The only purpose for storing the information is so the user doesn’t have to explicitly tell the app, on each visit, they want to authorize with both networks. Once the authorization is complete, the user can post to either network or to both at the same time.

Because it’s it a single page with a simple text area element and three buttons, its load time is fast.
