Was anyone able to post Orkut updates through Status.net?
We have almost all the networks inter-connected..Main one's would be:
Facebook, Twitter directly
LinkedIn through Twitter
Google Buzz through Twitter
It's awesome that I just send a single message now to
upd...@identi.ca from my Gtalk and it updates all... :-)
Thanks so much for this Status.net team!
I think there was some work on an OpenSocial plugin, which should
be able to interact with Orkut in some way, but I don't think it
got finished, and I recall some general issues with the spec being
a bit vague, so it might take some custom work to get it going on
other networks.
Looks like the plugin hasn't made it into the main StatusNet repo
yet... Chris, do you remember where we left off with this, and what
some of the tricky points folks wanting to pick it up might have to
watch out for?
The branch I was working on was here: http://gitorious.org/~cvollick/
statusnet/cvollicks-clone/commits/OpenSocial but at the time updating
Orkut from StatusNet wasn't really on the plate, so this doesn't
touch that.
That may or may not have the most recent version on it.
Also, it probably applies against some version of 0.8.x branch, but
nothing recent.
I think the problems where this:
1) Any JavaScript widget only exists when someone's looking at it,
like it's on their profile page and someone is visiting it.
Further, the widget can only do things like update the user's status
when it's the owner that's viewing their own page, or something.
So, this isn't great.
2) At the time, OpenSocial had a proposed REST API for services to
interact with the OpenSocial container server-to-server.
The support for this API was really small, though, and even the
services that did support it supported one or two features only.
In particular, Orkut may have been one of the only services that did
support it, and they had ridiculous limits, like "The user's stream
can only be updated 3 times a day per application" or something.
This may or may not still be the case.
