SocialMe: A Social Networking Experiment in Sitecore
In a recent post, I linked a video that outlined my initial experiences with building XAML applications for the Sitecore desktop. Coming off that experience, I was super excited to try out another application–SocialMe is the result.
Basically, SocialMe allows Sitecore users to save social networking credentials (currently Flickr, Twitter, and Facebook) to their Sitecore user profile, which can be leveraged on a web site to display custom content for that particular user–recent tweets, uploaded photos, and most recent Facebook status.
Anyway, here is an overly-long video that describes this in fuller detail, as well as provides a demo of what it allows you to do.

Ext JS 5, Sencha Fiddle and Parse.com
about 10 years ago - 6 comments
As I’ve used Sencha Fiddle, I’ve really come to enjoy how simple it makes testing ideas, exploring aspects of Ext JS, and debugging my code. One of the really nice features is the ability to simulate AJAX requests. While this is REALLY nice for simulating the loading of remote data, one place where it has…
Working with Custom User Profile Properties in Sitecore
about 15 years ago - No comments
Over the last several weeks, I've been working on a pretty nice little app that will allow for the integration of several social networking sites with Sitecore user profiles. As a part of this application, I've been utilizing the Sitecore 6.0 API to manage the creation and manipulation of custom user profile properties (for storing…
IE8 Issues in Sitecore
about 15 years ago - No comments
So IE8 comes set up in such a way that breaks Sitecore functionality pretty handily, including: Smashing pop-up menus and displaying horrible scrollbars on them (like when you're inserting a new page…) AND Disabling the drop-down menus on the WYSIWYG editor. Fortunately, the fix is pretty easy: In IE 8, go to Tools – >…

Over the weekend, I downloaded Sitecore Xpress and spent some time developing a Sitecore Desktop application based on XAML, C# and the Sitecore API. Here's the result:
Just Installed Sitecore Xpress

At my day job, we use Sitecore as our enterprise-level Content Management System. We are currently running 9 (or so) sites through it, although we'll have nearly 20 installed by the end of Spring 2010. I like Sitecore quite a bit, so when I found out that they offer a free, downloadable personal developer version…
Quick Look at ScrnShots' API
about 16 years ago - No comments
A few months ago, I ran across ScrnShots. It's basically a service for uploading, tagging and sharing screenshots of websites. This is pretty useful for me given my profession :). One of the things, however, that has always impressed me about the site is how easy and fun to use it is. It features really…
ColdFusion and Twitter
about 16 years ago - No comments
Over the last several months, I've gotten into Twitter ALOT. I find it to not only be fun, but it is also an interesting social experiment. I've been surprised by how many great resources I've come across because of my followers quickly twittering something they think is cool/helpful. Naturally, the next stage in my relationship…

Hi Joel,
This is a very cool example on how to extend the user profile with custom information (social media passwords), then request this information from a web page.
In addition, this is very simple to do by using the custom XAML application.
Are you using this for a specific customer project, or just for playing around. – And have you considered to convert this code into a Shared Source Module? (given you have the intellectual rights).
Anyways, – nice one. A great example on social network integration to Sitecore.
Best,
