For those that arn't familiar with Wildfire it is a Notes 8.5 Sidebar plugin that enables you to post status updates to many different social networks at once. Sametime, Connections, Facebook, Twitter, and many more. It also allows you to group your social networks into different types or categories and create a single feed/life stream that aggregates together all these networks.
I am pleased to let you know that we have just released Wildfire 1.4 on OpenNTF. This release finally fixes some of the issues we have had with the Mac and Linux clients as well as a few other requested improvements.
New features in WildFire V1.4.0 • Linux & Mac Support (including LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, HTML Links etc) • HTML Links open in Default Browser • Facebook Authentication improvement • Facebook Feeds from “Mobile Web” • SocialText Signals improvement
So check it out and please provide feedback/report bugs/request new features and we will see what we can add for 1.5 down the track. You can get it at http://wildfire.openntf.org .
How many social networks are you a part of? Got Sametime and Connections? Maybe you have multiple of each. Got Twitter as well? Facebook? Wordpress? Bebo? Tumblr? etc etc etc. I bet you have work related networks, personal networks, Yellowverse networks even!
Well I am very pleased to announce the release of WildFire 1.0 our free Notes 8.5 sidebar plugin just in time for Lotusphere!
