  1. Aperator: Making Tweets Enable Actionable Commands on Third Party Web Applications Peter Zakin, SoumyaSen, Mung Chiang Princeton University WEBAPPS 2012

  2. Social Network Saturation

  3. Small and Large Communities • Most of our time is spent on Facebook and Twitter—not on the smaller networks • Hard to be a good citizen of many different web applications • How can we make it easier to belong to many different networks? • How can we support content-growth on smaller networks? • Flow of information: from small networks to large networks

  4. What is Aperator? • Send actionable commands from Twitter to other web applications. • Currently, aperator supports commands for Delicious, Facebook, Foursquare and Read it Later.

  5. Aperator Syntax • @aperator delicious www.example.com • @aperatorrilwww.example.com • @aperatorfb I’m here at WEBAPPS • @aperator 4sq Fenway Park

  6. Demo!

  7. Architecture

  8. Limitations • Speed • Private accounts are not supported. • Issue could be resolved through REST API • Foursquare and ‘geo’ attribute

  9. Similar Work • Twitter, #fb and #in • ifttt

  10. Takeaway: Aperator Open Lexicon • Aperator could support a developer platform. • Developers reserve syntactical keywords • Delicious, Read it Later etc…. • Purely back-end applications • SMS (Twilio Integration)

  11. Takeaway: Twitter as Social OS • Aperatorpromotes inter-API synergy • Universal interface • Moving beyond #fb and #in with structured commands • Package Installer/Aperator Connect? (probably a TOS violation) • Web Shell?

  12. Final Thoughts
