Social media webservices are great sources to fill up your website with user generated content. Just yank that API powered content tab and let it flood your pages. Sounds easy, doesn't it? In reality it's a bit tougher. Since these free resources come with a variable fair use policy on amount and frequency of API tickling, you don't want to be too dependend on their EULA.

For Royal Dutch Airlines KLM we created a website that inspires your traveling needs with social media content from others. KLM Travlr combines airline destinations with content from Yahoo, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter, Foursquare, Bookings.com, Wikitravel and more.

We'll give you the ins & outs on how we combined all API's in a single request, without crossing their limits and risking a ban and not letting the visitors wait too long.

Case studies are always interesting and the this talk was very interesting in that respect. Very interesting to see how you had the opportunity to work with newish technologies. Also interesting to see how you could apply tech solutions to match marketing questions.

The talk was well-prepared and well-paced, but you could have looked at Solr in a little more detail.

This was a really interesting case study with many different services combined in the most effective way.
The content was interesting and the way it was presented was good. A little bit slow paced, but i don't think that's a bad thing!

Very interesting! Love to hear how other companies "tackle" projects. Compairing it with a dish adds a new dimension. Nice!
Good talk. Humorous and funny but completely serious when needed.
