If you use mobile apps that work with Facebook or Twitter then you are probably familiar with the process for giving those apps permission to access your account on those services.

Five Ways to Benefit from LinkedIn’s New APIs
Facebook and Twitter share buttons have become ubiquitous, but you don’t see the equivalent from LinkedIn nearly as often.

EveryBlock, the msnbc.com-owned hyperlocal news aggregator, is opening up its firehose, releasing an application-programming interface to its partners that will give them access to all EveryBlock feeds, calling it a heavyweight alternative to the customizable widget it launched in August.
Daniel X. O’Neil, co-founder and people person at EveryBlock, wrote on the EveryBlock Blog:
Today we’re announcing the EveryBlock partner API, a new way for our content partners to deliver neighborhood news at the level of neighborhood or city block.
This API is designed to provide you with raw access to the latest neighborhood news on EveryBlock, across all of the cities we serve. Read our documentation for more information.
This is a “firehose” API that delivers up to 24 hours of news items across our 16 cities. Since we deal with a diversity of news that varies in kind and format from city to city, this API is intended to serve partners with heavy-duty needs and who can devote a goodly amount of development time to work with the data.

12seconds Teams with Tweetdeck, Announces API
Earlier this year the video status update service 12seconds launched an iPhone app that cleverly bypassed Apple’s video-recording limitations for third party developers, making it that much more accessible for users to send in their clips. Now a new partnership with Twitter desktop clients Tweetdeck makes it just as easy to update your 12seconds account directly from its application as well.
For 12seconds users, this means that there is an expanding number of ways in which their account status can be updated. While 12seconds launched with Twitter support for sending a tweet every time a new 12seconds update was recorded and posted, the full integration of 12seconds into Tweetdeck’s desktop client means that 12seconds is further targeting the Twitter crowd.
