I am looking for something similar to Olark. Such as reall time chat on a website with customers where you can use an IM client. I would also like it to be white label. Does anyone know of any free alternatives or a library you can drop into a project?
Take a look to SignalR framework which exactly allows what you want.
Here's an article from Scott Hanselman who has made a chat in 12 lines of code and another one with more details about the technology.
Finally, a sample chat application.
Can't you build an alternative with framework likes :

a demo can be found here :
http://www.ape-project.org/demos/1/ape-real-time-chat.html
Or by using the Html 5 websockets ?
I'm not sure it's what you want, but tale a look on : https://www.frozenmountain.com/websync/

Looking for good solution for Twitter login and posting something... but there is no idea for now. How to do it in xamarine( IOS mono has complete solution, but monodroid...) help me please, if somebody knows how to do it.
If you just want to post something then you can easily do this by sending an Intent for use by an external app - e.g. see https://github.com/slodge/MvvmCross/blob/v3/Plugins/Cirrious/Share/Cirrious.MvvmCross.Plugins.Share.Droid/MvxShareTask.cs#L19
If you need a more complete solution then libraries like Tweetsharp have had MonoDroid ports/branches at various times, but I don't know the current status of any of these.
You might also want to take a look at Xamarin.Social. This component will let you tweet from your Xamarin.Android application.
I'm trying to find examples of code libraries or sample code for adding a commenting functionality in my apps. I've successfully implemented the Disquser iOS wrapper (http://bit.ly/iadisquser) in a couple of my apps but find it difficult to manage. I've seen other apps that incorporate a commenting feature that's cool, including theCHIVE Lite app, that looks like its using Facebook maybe?? Any hints or suggestions?
Look at QuickBlox Custom Objects code sample. I think it's what you need.
It represents user's notes, which he can create & comment. So, you can implement this comments logic into your apps and comment any item you want
There's a good tutorial for building a chat app that may help you get started, you can find it here: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-ioschat/index.html
Just curious if there is an existing storyboard version of Facebook integration around because I've been googling for about 2 days. So far, I can do authorization for my app and what I have in mind is to try posting a simple status message perhaps from my app to my Facebook newsfeed. Most of the demos / tutorials I've gone through use xib's though such as this. This one is a good tutorial, however I want a storyboard version for this. Tell me if this post is a dupe and kindly post that question so I can study it.
I know there were a lot here that know the idea of sharing :)
So any helpful links were very much appreciated, as it will, in a way, boost my learning experience as well as the others who are starting iOS development :)
Thanks!
If you wish to simply post a status update you should be able to use the same examples that are shown in nib files. However if you want to see a sample app that uses story boards you can take a look at this sample app:
https://github.com/fbsamples/ios-social-cafe
It uses story boards to set up the UI and perform facebook login. You can also check it out to see how to use the new UI pickers (friends, place) and how to do open graph actions.
If you have more specific details around how you want to post a status update, please provide them so I can clarify further.
Yes, there is a simple example of an iOS app using Storyboards (iOS5 and later): https://github.com/fbsamples/ios-social-cafe
Hopefully that's helpful and shows how to do a good authorization flow with Storyboarding.
Good luck.
hi i am trying to build a simple application using grails wherein i need to crawl 3 websites to get data abt the price off the book.And after getting those details when i select to buy it has to redirect to tht selected site.example refer the link http://www.mydiscountbay.com/ I am stuck i dont know hw to implement a simple crawler in grails.pls guide me with a sample code or tutorial on hw to implement it
thanks in advance
Implementing crawler has nothing to do with grails, there are some opensource java crawlers that you may be able to use or customize as per your need. Front end part would be like a normal grails web app.
Using something like URL#getText() will not get you very far with webs that have redirections, cookies, etc.
For anything even a little bit involved, use commons HttpClient, or the groovy HttpBuilder.

To parse the response and extract content, use XmlSlurper, eg: Using XmlSlurper: How to select sub-elements while iterating over a GPathResult
I'd like to write a little book on personal topics together with two friends of mine, remotely located. Do you know of any FOSS content publishing system like the one from O'Reilly (OPFS)?
I saw the one that powers the django book but It seems that the code It's not released yet. I accept any kind of backend technology for this project.
I'd like to:
edit the book on the web and let my friend do the same after authentication.
anyone of us could comment other's entries.
You could use Google Wave. You get the benefit of watching where others are editing / you can roll back the whole doc or specific parts / comment on specific parts plus you can use it from any computer so you don't have to be home or carry a laptop to edit your book when inspiration hits you.
OK, I'm going to roll out my own solution following the direction written here. I like a lot thigs like bitesizeedits or leanpub. The base will be a multiuser platform: mu. I'm quite fond with wordpress and as version control I'm happy with GIT. The commenting system will be digress.it.
