I want to build an authentication system in my rails app with instagram, Does omniauth support instagram? or do I have to use the instagram gem instead?
after all, the gem instagram is more efficient than omniauth, its documentation is reliable and very constructive to use, for further person who'd wonder like me, you can go with instagram gem.

For my rails app, I implemented some authentication using twitter and facebook. I used omniauth-facebook and omniauth-twitter gem. Since these
Now for my university project, I have to implement authentication using our university API authentication system also. My question is, should I use omniauth or is there any other gems for this that would be easy to implement? I am confused because, omniauth has built in features for twitter, facebook etc. But for custom authentication, I am not sure how complex it would be. So I am asking which gem would be simpler for this purpose?
I’m set up devise and omni-auth for both twitter and Facebook and now I’d like to allow users post a tweet or Facebook post from my app. I’m looked all over and confused on where to start for this. For right now I just want it to be a dummy post, doesn’t need to include anything from my rails app.
If you are looking for an example app for posting on twitter then you may check it out here with a working app posting on twitter:

Hope you may find it useful
To post tweets on Twitter you can go for Twitter gem.
Read the documentation here
For Facebook you can go for Koala gem

I am writing a facebook app by using ruby and rails. I will need Facebook connect and login, share, and timeline integration (posting on user's behalf). Is there any tutorial/guide or gem that you recommend.
Thank you
Cheers
Koala is a gem that interacts with Facebook's Graph API and can handle Facebook OAuth as well.
Koala has some good examples on Github, but if you like Ryan Bates covers Koala and Facebook's Graph API in Railscasts Pro #361 and #363. Both are paid episodes.
Omniauth is a great gem for handling many different OAuth providers, including Facebook. Ryan Bates covers it in several episodes.
I can recommend 3 gems for facebook authentication and login. Implementing them would be quite complex. For basic authentication you can use devise, then for facebook login, you can integrate omniauth with the omniauth-facebook gem into devise:

I hava a Rails application, I need to integrate Facebook. User can login with Facebook account and get his reviews in facebook and so on, how to deal with this case in rails? thanks!
Facebooker is no longer supported I recommend using Koala gem: https://github.com/arsduo/koala/wiki
There is a very comprehensive article here: http://www.packtpub.com/article/facebook-application-development-ruby-on-rails
And several existing plugins for this purpose like 'rfacebook', 'facebooker' or 'facebook-rails'. 'Facebooker' definitely has Facebook Connect abilities.
What are some good gems that allow simple pre-built connectivity and integration with networks like Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc?
Insoshi and Loved by Less are both great open source pre-built social networking platforms for Ruby on Rails.
For Twitter and Facebook specifically, check out the Twitter gem and Rfacebook, respectively.
The facebook gem is called Facebooker. It's great, and does facebook connect stuff too.
There's a ton of Twitter gems.
