Dear List,

I am compiling a list of R packages that work with social media APIs. Uptil
now I have found that

1- Most of these are based on RCurl, XML, rjson

2- Even though the API format is standardized for REST- there seems to be
many differences within the APIs, leadinbg to multiple packages that do the
required API call -

3- I am specific issues with the following

Google +API access through R
Linkedin API access through R
Twitter +API access through ROAuth
and Datasift API (basically a firehose for all social media) within R

Again most of the APIs I find have libraries supported by java,
ruby,python,curl- but there seems to be some overlooking of R within
various API vendors.

Has anybody been working with R for social media- I am specifically looking
for use cases that avoid rate limiting of free api- and specifically OAuth
and APis for LinkedIn, Google + and Datasift using R.

Many Thanks,

Ajay ohri
