- a blog admin might go to the micropost page and see a form at the top of the page, with an interface very similar to that of Twitter (even including image and video upload). Below the form would be the old pages.
- readers would go to the same page and see nothing but the user’s micropost history
- pagination and other UX improvements
- eventually we’ll include, either on the same page or a second page, a microblog post reader, for microblogs you subscribe to
- we will add support for ActivityPub and other hooks as soon as possible
- sooner or later (possibly very soon) we’ll include an appropriate RSS extension so that RSS readers can be used as decentralized social media readers
We’ll be back in touch when it’s ready, but please reply if you have any comments or concerns.
]]>as in the topic. When I hit post it, I get “your update has been posted” message and nothing happens. I see new post/status update only after I refresh manually the site.
Thanks in advance!!! ]]>
sorry but I0m new in wordpress and I have to create in a week a microblogging similar to twitter with WP.
This website has a single page like twitter where the users (only 8) can comment the posts without change page.
Users can also insert images in the comment.
Users can post articles but in the front end, not in the dashboard.
Users can search in a website a tag.
Sorry for my English and really thanks in advance. ]]>
does anyone know of a plugin that would do this?
]]>Here’s my problem: The “pings” post almost as their own little separate blog with their own separate feed (at mysite.com/pingfm). I really want them to just be part of the main blog. I’ve been doing weekly digests of the pings to the main blog to make sure readers see them but its an inelegant solution. I’m not worried about the RSS end, I can combine the ping feed into the normal blog feed with pipes and feedburner, but I would really like all of those miniblog posts (pings, to use the verbiage of the plugin) to display as if they are real posts and part of the main blog. This way they’d not only show in all blog views (search, archive, categories, etc) but also be right alongside the “real” blog posts.
In an ideal world, someone can advise me how to muck with the plugin so that it posts what it gets from Ping.fm as WordPress posts instead if pings.
However, if that is impossible, if there is some way to fake it on the theme end and just have the pings display within the normal blog as if they were posts (even if they are still pings) I would accept that as a solution.
(If someone’s already written up a tutorial on this, my apologies, I’ve Googled to no avail.)
Thanks for your help in advance!
]]>P2 looks like a good candidate for microblogging within our company, but it lacks, as far as I understand one important feature: ability to follow users. I don’t know to see what everybody writes (let’s say a couple hundred users), I only want to see posts from a restricted group of followers, such as team members and a few others. Is this scenario possible, and if so how?
Thank you,
Marius
I was wondering if there was any option how I could post selective tweets to, say, my sidebar? I’d be grateful if you could point me in the direction of a plugin (or a widget) that is able to do this, if possible for multiple twitter accounts as I’m sharing a blog with friends.
Or does anyone know another solution for those “micro-updates” that don’t really qualify for an own post but I’d still like to be visible somewhere on my blog?
Any help appreciated! Thank you in advance! 
I’m interested in writing a plugin which displays posts which are in a certain category (say, microposts) to be displayed very minimally with no metadata. For example, if a regular post is usually displayed with the date, the author, categories, etc, I want posts of these kinds to be displaying *only* the data. E.g:
Regular post:
9 Milton: A Robust Global Illumination Rendering System
Another student and I are …
January 7, 2009 | In graphics, programming | No Comments
Micropost:
# this is a super simple micropost, no metadata!
I haven’t seen a plugin which integrates small posts like these into the regular blog (only on the sidebar, which I don’t really want.)
I’m a very competent programmer, but I haven’t worked with wordpress before. Can anyone help me come up with a plan of attack? Should I be putting an if statement in the main loop which checks to see what category a post is and then formatting it depending on that? That seems kind of hackish, I was hoping there would be a better way.
Thanks,
Matt
For any of you interested in the microblogging movement, I encourage you to check out OpenMicroblogger.org. Using the existing OpenMicroblogging protocol developed by Identi.ca founder Evan Prodromou, OMB enables anyone to create a distributed microblogging site that mirrors features found on sites like Twitter, Pownce and others.
What makes this really exciting for WordPress developers is the fact that OpenMicroblogger is built around the existing Prologue theme by Automattic and is compatible with the WordPress plugin and theme APIs. What we need now is some of you great WordPress plugin developers to come on board.
I invite anyone interested in microblogging and WordPress to help us better integrate features of both platforms into a truly great blogging service that anyone can implement on their own server. Also check out my own sports themed OMB implementation at SportsTwit.com.
Cheers
