R – Displaying Hi5, Orkut, LinkedIn, and Twitter etc. Pages in Power.com website

frames

I am wondering how Power.com is able to display Hi5, Orkut, LinkedIn, and Twitter etc. links in their website pages. As far I know Twitter breaks Iframes as they use some JavaScript(Frame breaker scipt) to break frames.

Would you please let me know if you have any idea on this?

Doesn't twitter etc have their own API's that you can hook into to expose the data?

e.g.

http://apiwiki.twitter.com/

EDIT An API will allow you to connect to a service (Web service, REST service) to grab the data in say an XML/JSON format. You will then be able to transform this data via XSLT etc on your web page.
