Is it possible to access orkut (features of orkut such as scraps, friend find, etc.) through RSS?
We can access facebook using RSS.
Does orkut provides similar facility?
No, it does not. When I tried to do something similar, I had to go with CRAWLING the pages I was interested in: scraps, private messages, birthdays...

I was working in a client application with alfresco and in need to capture the changes in docs from user's alfresco account. From further reading I came to know that I need to set some properties in alfresco-global.properties file to enable change log audit. So is there anyway I can do this using an API without requesting user to do this ? Please help
I'm not sure something like that is possible, other then using JMX. I'd be happy is someone would prove me wrong, though.

For Community there is no direct way to do this other than using addon's or writing your own custom code.
There are some ways you can use when using the JavaScript Api of Alfresco.
There is an Open Source module here using JMX and a paid one here using a custom Share page.
I'm looking for a good search component to plug in to an ASP.NET MVC 2 website.
I've seen a few non-mvc ones before. Our website is comprised of 99% static mvc pages so I need something that will index and search the entire site (and not use database fulltext search).
I've had success with Wrensoft's Zoom Search Engine. Works with ASP.NET and it is inexpensive.
You may consider http://www.google.com/sitesearch/ or if you want more customization you can look into a lucene.net based solution.
Google Search Appliance http://www.google.com/gsa
Addition to Google search, Have a look at Bing Live search too. Its api is available here
how do i go about in authentication of a particular website say facebook on qt?please help.i am new to qt.
say i want to use facebook in qt without using qt's webkit.i want to use the rest apis.the first step i want to do is to authenticate a valid user with a username and password.how do i link this username and password to be entered in qt to that of facebook. how do i start?
I have not tried it myself.
However the authentication you are talking about sounds like a html action, for that you are going to need to use the QtWebkit and the QWebPage, you can then issue JavaScript calls with the mainFrame()->evaluateJavaScript(); function.
I have a requirement to check that all the hyperlinks still work on a password protected, private website. What's the best way of doing this?
The site is mix of HTML and ASP.NET Webforms.
EDIT: Sorry - I don't think this question was clear.
I need something like this:
http://validator.w3.org/checklink
But for a site hidden behind a user/pass form. I don't mind doing something programmatically or purchasing something if it's reasonable.
You should seriously look at the unix command line tools to do this. Esp wget
take a look at the --spider option in combination with the --user and --password options...
Also take a look at curl or libcurl+php
There are two things that are not terrible clear about your question.
First, what sort of user/password are required. These can be POST values or they can be the username and password from the http protocol. Which do you want? There are several ways to provide a username and password to a website, and whatever solution you use has to work with your website. That means that you have to have a very accurate understanding of which method you are using. Just the fact that it has a username and password is not nearly enough information.
Second it is unclear what you mean by "links still work" do you mean internal links that will or will not work based on the proper functioning of your application, or do you mean links to public Internet sites that happen to be on a password protected site?
I am assuming the later with this answer. But if you meant the former then you should look into one of several web application test suites that have recently come available.
HTH,

Rel Software's Web Link Validator works quite happily with Forms Auth based sites - we've been using it on client sites for some time now.
The main things to watch out for are:
Send the link checker to your Login Page first.
Ensure you tell it to ignore all Logout URLs (so it doesn't inadvertently log itself out).
I enjoy using SimpleTest for testing my own websites, but there's no built-in link checker.You could use it to navigate the login and fetch the page body. You'd then parse the content using regular expressions to find all links, and use SimpleTest again to verify those links (and even crawl them to verify recursively).
Of course, using cURL (or libcurl with your language of choice) gets you pretty close, too.
You just need to authenticate the WebRequests ...
Where are you stuck?
-- Edit
Well, it depends on what you mean by 'password protected'. How do is the login scheme implemented?
You can do this using Apache httpclient has the features
I'm trying to use the drupal module called FB (http://drupal.org/project/fb). I just want to know if I'm on the right track. I've installed the module, setup the keys and so forth. All I want is the following:
To make a call into facebook
Retrieve all MY notes
Retrieve all the COMMENTS on my notes
So my questions are:
Is it necessary to write an app if I just want to make simple call like this?
Is there an easier way than the module i'm using?
You may find that the Activity Stream facebook extention does what you need.
Making some assumptions here: 1) you're familiar with programming drupal modules, 2) not so much with the facebook api, 3) you want to export your notes to display on a personal site.
The short answer is Yes, you need to create an application. You need the facebook client API files, and an API key/secret, which you only get by creating an app. Sounds like you've already gotten this far anyway.
However, from first glance, it looks like you only need to enable the DFF facebook API module, and then you can write your own module, using the global $fb to access facebook. The client API methods are mostly self-explanatory, if a little tweaky.
Possible problem: if your facebook details are restricted to friends only, visitors to your personal site won't have access to your notes via facebook API calls. The API only exposes what's publically accessible, or it exposes the (user-specific) details & friends when a visitor logs in (prompted by calling the require_login method). So, I imagine you'd need to store the notes locally, updating them by logging in yourself.
You could feasibly bypass the DFF modules altogether & just include the FB client API from your own module, but DFF looks like it handles all the weird & badly-documented fb behaviour - particularly that related to require_login - that'd otherwise have you smacking your head against a wall for three days. Good luck.
Caveat: I've never used the DFF modules. I used FBConnect, which was sufficient, but I spent a lot of time smacking my head against a wall.
