Distributing Know Between to other websites

Know Between already has a number of 'hooks' outside of the website itself. You can get email notifications, RSS feeds and Twitter updates. You can even view and share your expertise on Facebook, with the Know Between Facebook app.

Using these hooks, other websites can make use of Know Between's powerful features. For example, Openmind projects - a leading volunteer organisation in Thailand - shows recent news (questions, responses or people) for the topic Development.

The Openmind example is just read-only of data and not personalised in anyway. Imagine accessing and developing your Know Between network through eBay for example. If a friend or friend-of-friend has sold lots of electronics and got good feedback for it, then they might be a good person to trust for buying a second-hand digital camera.

Know Between's true power will be unleashed when the features it offers are available in digital the places people use everyday.
