Value in Social Media
People depend on smart phone to stay in touch with business applications
On an average 1000 email notifications arrive to the mail box.
10% of them are very important – ◦ critical bank feed went fine◦ the long running nightly scheduled job succeeded, etc.
To pull out the important ones on the go, on a smart phone, is tedious.
Scenario
The significant notifications are tweeted to the smart phone, where as the others (along with the tweeted ones) are still emailed to the mail box.
The important messages are delivered fast and available for quick view and its details available in the mail (just like in the traditional method).
With all the technology, it is as secure as it can get. The tweets are sent out only to the followers, who are monitored by the tweeter. The tweeter permits as to who can be the followers.
Solution - Twitter
TwitterFactory Java API - Twitter4J.
The Java API encapsulated in BPEL and deployed as a Web Service on Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA Suite.
The Web Service deployed as a common service and invoked by other orchestrations to send tweets.

Twitter Account Admin
The Twitter account can be restricted so that its visibility in the internet is restricted.
The users ‘follow’ requests are verified by the Twitter account admin before allowing them to follow the account.
Even the tweets are invisible to the public except for the approved followers.
Applications use OAuth to authenticate to send tweets.
Is tweeting secure?
The Tweet Web Service “Tweet_BPEL_WS_V1” is built as an asynchronous BPEL service, and invoked by other orchestrating services.
The service receives the message to be tweeted from the invoking services.
It uses the twitter4j factory classes to make a connection to the twitter account and posts the tweets.

Viewing the Tweets
Twitter makes following the notifications easier.
An organizations’ biggest concern is information security, which is taken care by account settings, monitoring and administering the followers by the Twitter account administrator.
