Booting up Spring Social
summary
Demo shows Spring Social wiring OAuth client flows into real apps: connect controller handles the redirect dance, automatic reconnect (added in 1.1) refreshes broken tokens via a browser flow, and Spring Boot auto-configuration shrinks setup to a few lines. Works with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn (GitHub support incomplete). Live demo builds a tiny app that posts tweets and reads timelines; Facebook API 2.0 migration is underway and some demo edge cases (simulated token revoke) reveal practical limits.
