FaceMashup: Enabling end user development on social networks data

Every day, each user produces and shares different contents on social networks. While developers can access such data through APIs, end users have less control on such information, since their access is mediated by the social application features. In order to fill this gap, we introduce FaceMashup, an EUD environment supporting the manipulation of the social network graph. Data types are represented through widgets containing the UI elements used in the social network application, which can be connected with each other through the drag and drop. We report on a user-test on the FaceMashup prototype, which shows a good acceptance of the environment by end-users.
