Abstract

A mobile device operating system level routine obtains social network access parameters that allow access to one or more social network accounts of a user of the device. The access parameters are stored in operating system level memory of the mobile device. Through an operating system interface of the mobile device, a user can create a social network message to be communicated via the one or more social network accounts using the stored access parameters. A single social network message may be communicated via multiple social network accounts with multiple social network platforms. The uniform operating system interface allows a user to communicate messages via multiple social network accounts without using multiple user level applications.
