Half Moon Bay, CA (PRWEB) October 3, 2006 -- Today Cerado launched the Haystack Networking API, a free feature that enables developers to embed social networking capabilities directly into their corporate, association or organizational websites. The Haystack Networking API is designed for developers representing savvy organizations who desire customized functionality to connect social networking with their business operations.

With the programs developed through the API, organizations can enable new business processes through direct integration between Haystack networking and their own systems. Examples of the types of programs that can be built with the Haystack Networking API include integration with existing CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems, creation of organization-specific online communities, and the creation of customer-driven service and support applications.

The first organization to use the Haystack Networking API will be SwapThing, an online community for swapping items and services. Haystack networking will be used to power SwapThing's SwapCircle communities. More information regarding Cerado's integration with SwapThing can be found here: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/8/prweb428622.htm

In order to access the free API, developers need to request a developer token which is their key to access the API.
