Checking out the Sitecore Social Connector. If you’ve been to the AIIM website, you see that we do a little of this. I want to do it better. I’m here to see if we can do it cost effectively. David Morrison is presenting in this session.

• Version 1.3 was just released and it is a free module (Nice confirmation for ignorant people like myself)
• Social Brainstorm
  • Simplify visitor registration and authentication
  • Post content to social networks directly from CMS
  • Manage multiple Facebook accounts

• Social Engagement
  • Personalize content using social profile
  • TrackLikes, Comments, and Tweets

  • Bundled networks: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+
  • Can create your social authentication provider (OAuth)
• Can tie directly to specific Facebook Applications
• Profile information is pulled at each login and stored in Sitecore. If user preferences become more restrictive regarding sharing data, that data is removed to keep compliant
• You can map a social property to multiple Sitecore properties
• Social Buttons, FB Like and Tweet, can configure Goal and Campaign conversion
• Social Content Messaging
  • Post social messages quickly using saved accounts
  • Easily manage multiple social accounts in one place
  • Post messages to multiple accounts for the same network when content item is published
