I saw this project on codeplex
and thought this might be interesting.
It could be useful to some people but when I looked into the project it left me a little bit baffled.
When I saw project, this is actually a link to an html page
Twitter.html
<HTML><HEAD>
<META charset=utf-8></HEAD>
<BODY contentEditable=true>
<SCRIPT src="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT>
var search = parent.document.forms[0].all.name.DataValue;
new TWTR.Widget({
version: 2,
type: 'profile',
rpp: 10,
interval: 2000,
width: 630,
height: 300,
theme: { shell: { background: 'transparent', color: '#333' },
tweets: { background: 'transparent', color: '#333', links: '#c10000' }
},
features: { scrollbar: false, loop: true, live: false, hashtags: true, timestamp: true, avatars: true, toptweets: true, behavior: 'default' }
}).render().setUser(search).start();
</SCRIPT>
</BODY></HTML>
There doesn’t seem to be hardly anything in the page and then I released most of the work was being done by the Javascript page
http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js
It all seemed a bit weird and the thought of my CRM running external javascript files which could get changed to do something completely different didn’t really appeal to me.
If they are giving the solution away they should package this up into a managed solution.
I’m also not sure how the twitter integration works because I can’t see where you put in the
twitter address so I’m guessing it works by looking up the company name, which doesn’t seem
logical to me.
To summarise I think this is a great idea but I don’t like the way it has been done
