Adobe launched Flash Builder 4 and new Flash Platform service for social network integration

Great news - Adobe released Flash Builder 4, Flex 4 SDK, ColdFusion Builder, and new Flash Platform service for social network integration.

If you are looking to integrate your application with multiple social networks using Facebook Connect, Sign-in with Twitter, and MySpaceID and don’t want to write separate integration code for each network—use the Social service instead. The Social service has the following benefits:

• One API connects your application with multiple social networks
• The service adapts to social network changes so you don't need to recompile your application
• Multiple pricing plans available

The Social service consists of three parts:

• A simple ActionScript 3 API, which can be implemented in Flash or Flex and aggregates the different social network APIs, including Facebook Connect
• Plug-and-play widgets that use the social API for login, share, invite, select friends and other commands
• Dashboard analytics for reviewing and optimizing your social performance

The Social service is designed to support online businesses that seek a simplified solution for an optimized integration with social networks. The service is a collaboration between Adobe and Gigya.
