    Twitter service: integrate your elgg.com network

    Posted in general | Add a comment

    TwitterAll Elgg.com networks come with the ability to connect to Twitter. As a network admin you can let new users sign in and create an account using their Twitter credentials and let existing users sync their elgg.com network account to their Twitter account, if they would prefer to use Twitter for login.

    It is also possible for users to pull their tweets into Elgg's conversation tool (our version of microblogging). This can be all tweets or only those containing a specific hashtag. For example, you might be a member of a physics research network and only want your tweets that contain the hashtag #physics to be pulled in and displayed to other members of the network.

    Update on developments at Curverider and Elgg

    imageJust a quick note to give you an update on some of the exciting things going on right now.

    We're busily putting the finishing touches to our hosted service at http://www.elgg.com and will start inviting beta users into the service during June.  Many thanks to the thousands of people who have already registered  to be kept informed about the service.  Given all the publicity out there about privacy concerns, we think it will provide a great solution for the many organisations who want to run their own social hub, safe in the knowledge that the content and data belongs to them.
