Synopsis

This module aggregates data from Twitter, Youtube, Foursquare, and Facebook and creates a block for your site. It integrates with Drupal's cron system to simplify the data retrieval process.

Configuration

• Facebook requires you to create an application to retrieve an access token. Go to http://www.facebook.com/developers/  and create an application with the default settings.
• With Twitter, you need to place either the Twitter ID or Twitter User Name.
• Youtube requires a username so once you retrieve that you are ready.
• Foursquare has a different authentication process. It requires you to specify an access token. To retrieve this, you must create an application at https://foursquare.com/oauth/.

This module also creates a block for easy inclusion in your site.
