Q: 

In layman's term: social APIs and their limits

I want to utilize Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Google Maps and Yelp in my own social web app (PHP/MySQL), specifically to tap into users' details and trends. How do I use those social APIs and what are the main limitations I need to worry about?
