  • Philippe Dame commented on Alec's status update wondering how to connect sixent and twitter. 3 months ago
    "We do have a "true" integration with Twitter planned (cross-posting to Twitter and native pods for pulling in feeds). You... can, for now, embed the Twitter Flash widget in the "Embedded Content" pod and you can pull in any Twitter RSS feed (your own, or a search result) via the "Feed Pod"."moreless

    "I had the original iPhone. Dropped it a bunch of times, but it was fine because it had a titanium case. The new one is... plastic. Hence the protective cover I put over it."moreless

      Re Twitter & Sixent: For now, you can do the obvious like adding a Twitter badge on to a Sixent Profile, Page & Group. As... Twitter syndicates your tweets to a RSS feed, you can display this content on various Sixent page-types using a Sixent Pod. For example, I started testing a Twitter search (Summize) feed on the keyword "smbottawa" for a test Group I have at http://smbottawa.sixent.com. So for now, Sixent can accommodate the import of Twitter data using common techniques. In the future, Alf, Phil & Dwain are looking to incorporate export features. What's possible? Notice how your Sixent Status Update accepts 140 characters? When you update your status, this could be set to concurrently update your Twitter account. I'd like for us to explore the 'follow' manner of connection in Sixent and how we might use Sixent's profile system to manage one's other online identities in both public communities (e.g. Twitter) & private (e.g. white-label Sixent operated by an organization). It's all about making the online lives of our user better http://tinyurl.com/6lowey  We'd love to hear more of your feedback - keep it coming!moreless
