SharePoint Social Aggregator Web Part Description
SharePoint Social Aggregator Web Part is a development component which can assist programmers in effectively displaying information from various sources, including RSS and atom feeds, blogs, even social websites, like Facebook or Twitter, in a single, compact view.
The collected data is combined into a single panel, whose display can easily be customized through XSL or CSS. The layout and stylesheet of the feeds can be adjusted, for instance the number of items to displays. This way, users can include only the information they want, while also being able to select preferred data sources (the location where posts will be collected from).
The tool supports SharePoint 2013, 2010 ad 2007, so developers can choose the version they need and further work with it. Depending on the targeted source of news and feeds, SharePoint Social Aggregator Web Part can be customized and adjusted to meet the particular needs of users.
As such, when used for Twitter, this advanced component allows users to read as well as reply to comments straight from the SharePoint interface. In addition, it does not store end-users’ credentials, thus protecting their data. Moreover, the SharePoint administrator has the possibility of determining which individual users can benefit from specific extended Twitter options.
Aside from Twitter, however, SharePoint Social Aggregator Web Part also supports RSS 1.0 and 2.0, Atom, blogs, Facebook, and other such sources of news and information. It allows adjusting access privileges, ranging from ‘None’ (where anyone can view the posts), to ‘Use Default Credentials’ and ‘Custom Credentials’.
Among more notable features are the ability to scroll through posts, add new entries using a ‘Post’ button, or ‘Delete’ certain comments. These are all settings which developers can activate or deactivate, depending on their preferences.
