Some help understanding the profile wall

[Daniel Tygel]

Ah, let me show one example of how beautifull this IFTTT works. Its such 
a wonder:

I operate a wodpress website, http://ripess.org . It's in wordpress, and 
I managed (using existing plugins and making changes in their codes for 
our uses) to make it automatically feed in the news 
(http://www.ripess.org/category/feeds-en/?lang=en) from more than 60 
websites (http://www.ripess.org/sources-en/?lang=en) and from vimeo and 
youtube, creating also a Social Solidarity Economy Television, 
http://www.ripess.org/videos-en/?lang=en.

This is already beautiful, but then IFTTT makes it much better: these 
posts in wordpress are also automatically posted in facebook 
(http://facebook.com/ripessintercontinental), twitter 
(http://twitter.com/ripesstwit) and the linkedin group about social 
solidarity economy 
(http://www.linkedin.com/groups?updates=&gid=5117299&updatesFrom=all).

We were discussing in Cirandas working group from EITA that the profile 
walls in Noosero could feed other places using IFTTT if it had a public 
RSS address. So we want to implement:

1. the option for people to make their wall public (or from a community 
or enterprise)
2. a wall for enterprises
3. the notification in the walls of changes in enterprises, specially 
products/services.
4. these notifications from favorite enterprises would also be 
notifications in the personal profile network wall.

       That's a little bit what we've been thinking.

       Of course it would be beautiful to create a new IFTTT channel for 
Noosfero, but at least oauth and some RESTFUL webservice would have to 
be already implemented in Noosfero, which we still don't have.....

        IFTTT has today 69 channels for actions and triggers: 
https://ifttt.com/channels

        It works like a charm and tries to give some meaning to real 
integration in the web (it's not the only one: there is for example 
hootsuite and others, but I liked IFTTT much more than all others I 
tried)....

            Greetings,

                daniel
