Wall

Newsfeed is a place where members usually spend most of their time in social networks, sometimes it is enough to check all news here and interact with others by sharing messages, photos, videos and leaving comments and likes. This is what SocialEngine always needed.
Wall plugin does all these things with keeping in mind – simplicity in usage, stylish look and rich-featured. It brings two great things into SocialEngine: Newsfeed – place where your members can read latest news separated by lists – Most Recent, Friends, Photos or any custom list like `Colleagues`; Wall – modern wall for profiles and business pages. Also it includes a lot of improvements in the package – tagging friends, auto-postig to facebook and twitter, slideshow, webcam photos, etc.

Wall plugin features:
