Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and software for sharing content in social networks. A request from a user of the social network to share content is received, the request comprising the content and at least one sharing parameter. A command is sent to the social network on behalf of the user to cause the content to be published to a profile related to the user on the social network, the command comprising an URL associated with the content. Requests to retrieve the content may then be received from the social network, the requests comprising the URL associated with the content. When requests to retrieve the content are received, it is determined whether the content is authorized for viewing based on the at least one sharing parameter. If the content is authorized for viewing, the content is returned in response to the request.
