New features at Praja!

tech - 5-FEB-2010

We at the Tech team are happy to announce another set of new features on Praja. Starting today, all registered users will have access to these new features.

1. The Stream Microblog with Twitter Integration

For those of us who are familiar with Twitter, we now have an analogous feature built within Praja. How is PrajaBytes to name it? Suggest better if you have one. The idea is for you to share your status or broadcast those pithy one liners to all Praja users (and especially those who follow you, see below).

• To start posting, just head to 'My account' and type in the 'Stream' box.
• What more, you can link one or more of your Twitter accounts to your praja accounts. If you link your Twitter account, a tweet will be posted to your Twitter account when you make a post on Praja.

To link your Twitter account:

• go to 'My account',
• choose 'edit' and click on 'Twitter Accounts' tab.
• Fill in your Twitter id and Twitter password. We need your Twitter password to make posts on your behalf.
• Rest assured that the passwords will be stored securely and are not accessible to any users, including the admins.
