Apply for app key
ALL SNSAPI users must apply their own application keys to enable a certain platform (if it requires OAuth).
Not only developers need a key!
All the OSNs we currently touch do not allow other users to authorize test stage Apps,
e.g. only the developer can authorize it.
In this case, everyone needs to register as a developer first and apply their own key.
Whenever you see sample usage of SNSAPI,
remember to change their app_key and app_secret to yours.
Alternatively, you can ask the key owner to assign you as a test user
if you really want to use others' keys.
Expiration: 3 months (for appkey owners)
