  • internal twitter-like system in Alfresco Share?

    Posted on April 28th, 2009 jan 4 comments

    I’m an active twitter user since march & and I’m currently working on a Share customization project (intranet knowledge portal).

    Now, I’m wondering if it is a nice idea to add sth. like a internal twitter system to Share. Alfresco’s Activity Feed is a nice approach to track each activity, but in a system with more than hundred members of a site this feed gets very chattering. So, my basic idea:

    • reuse twitter syntax (@, DM, RT & #)
    • # –> automatically tag the message
    • twitter user-dashlet (like BeTwittered Google Gadget)
    • site-dashlet: last messages of site members
    • action link in DocLib, wiki etc. “recommed via twitter”:
      - opens dialog to write twitter message
      - autocompletion for user names typing @ or DM
      - automatically add shortened link to content
    • decide if each member follows all other site members or reuse twitter-like follow mechanism
    • tbc

    So…what do you think about this?
