I want to create an web application that will link up a student’s facebook, twitter and orkut accounts all under one shed. Its like connecting all the students within a college, to login into the web app, the userid will be the unique studentID provided by the college itself. Now, once a student has logged-in, he can open his facebook, twitter and orkut a/c in the same window, lets say under tabs. How can i do that?? I mean how can i pass a student’s Facebook’s user-id and password to facebook server and if user authentication is done, then show the student his facebook wall. I am very confused and don’t know how to deal with this. ---

Twitter & facebook both have apis that allow you to get at the user’s streams. You don’t send their password though - a mechanism called OAuth is used to get you a token that allows facebook etc to know that the user has granted your application permission to access the user’s data (with various levels of granularity) Fred
