I think I actually mentioned this on Twitter :), but I have been getting a lot of requests to help clients integrate 3rd party social networks into their applications. A lot! I am sure everyone is experience this as social networking continues to evolve and grow in leaps and bounds. I have built a few custom .NET libraries as well as taken advantage of 3rd party libraries to help in these endeavors.
If you want to integrate Twitter into your .NET application and prefer a 3rd party library, you could use TweetSharp, which is a C# .NET Library with a Fluent API for use with Twitter. TweetSharp is up on Google Code and described as follows:
“A feature-complete library for the Twitter API. Use this library in your client applications to enable a simple, discoverable fluent interface for building Twitter queries, as well as additional features like asynchronous processing, server-side caching, url shortening, and rate throttling.”
The project looks active as they just released Preview 21 over the holidays.
Again, if you need to integrate Twitter into your Silverlight, WPF, ASP.NET MVC, or ASP.NET Webforms applications, you may want to give TweetSharp a try.
