  • a button is selected at step 403, it can be determined whether the internal profile is associated with an external profile of the external service provider associated with the selected button at step 405. If so, that external profile can be selected at step 409. Otherwise, an external profile can be associated with the internal profile at step 407. This can include requesting that the user identify an external profile. For example, if the button is a Twitter button, and the internal profile does not have an associated Twitter profile, it can be requested that the user input Twitter login information to associate a specific Twitter profile. The user may be redirected to Twitter to enter login information to Twitter, and then Twitter can return an identifying key associated with the external profile.

  • Content can be accepted in any number of data formats.
  • some external service providers have limitations on data formats or prefer certain data formats. Accordingly, one or more preferred data formats can be stored for each external service provider. When new content data is received, the data format of the content can be determined, and the new content data can be converted to the preferred data formats before sending the content data to external profiles on external service providers.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a method of converting content data according to examples of the disclosure.
  • Content data can be received at step 500.
  • content data can be received from any of a number of sources, including from a user or from external profiles of external service providers.
  • An initial data format of the content data can be determined at step 502.

  • the content data can be converted from an initial data format to an interim data format, and then from the interim data format to the one or more preferred data formats. In such a system, only conversion methods to and from the interim data format need be employed, thus reducing the number of conversion methods needed.
  • converted content data can be sent to each external profile in the preferred data format associated with the external service provider of that external profile at step 510.
