When building the NotesAppStore review area, I wanted a simple way to identify reviewers who post reviews to the site. I decided to use the social networks that we all use and love: LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. I already had Facebook and Twitter working, and we got LinkedIn working over the weekend. So now NotesAppStore reviewers have 3 ways to identify themselves in a way that is already recognized by the business and social community worldwide.


Here is what a reviewer sees when entering a new review or making a comment on a review:


Clicking on a reviewer's image brings you to the person's Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn public profile pages, so you can friend (Facebook), follow (Twitter) or connect (LinkedIn) to others who use an App that you also use.

Here is what the review stream looks like (this was our test area but it gives you the idea). This is a mix of LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter logins.
