  Anahita™ Connect is now available for download 

  

  We have a new addition to our collection of social applications. Anahita™ Connect provides single-click authentication to the people on your Anahita powered social network using their existing Facebook or Twitter accounts.

  Anahita™ Connect does a lot more than that. The current implementation allows people to publish their Anahita story updates on their facebook and twitter news feeds.

  Basically a person profile can be paired with a Twitter and Facebook account. Once a person posts a story update, it also gets posted on their Facebook and Twitter feeds.

  In the same fashion, a group profile can also be paired with a Twitter account, so the story updates of a group will also be published in their Twitter feed.

  

  Anahita™ Connect is in fact the implementation of OAuth technology for Anahita. This also means that social app developers can use the Anahita Connect API and develop Anahita social applications that post notifications on twitter and facebook. For example announcing that a new group or event has been created on your Anahita powered social network.

  The Anahita Connect social app is currently available as an Embryo release, however we are using it right now on the Anahitapolis. Using an embryo release to power our own business is part of the process of squashing the bugs as well as improving and polishing the social application. The Birth release is likely to happen this month. Right now our premium subscribers can download the Embryo release of Anahita Connect by going to this page.

  Anahita™ Discussions 1.0 Birth Release is now available 

  

  This is the second Anahita™ social application that reaches the Birth release. Anahita™ Discussions is one of the first application that we have been using for over 9 months to provide support on Anahitapolis and it has been evolving fast since.

  

  Anahita™ Discussions is an extremely light weight social app for people to create topics and comment on them. The main difference between Anahita™ Discussions and the traditional discussion boards is the fact that it integrates seamlessly with the Anahita™ social networking engine and it is especially developed for the social networking context.

  

  Instances of Anahita™ Discussions work within the groups and people profiles. Group administrators have the right to set privacy permissions or moderate the topics within their own domain. In this fashion the task of moderation and administration is distributed amongst the community members.

  

  As people follow more groups, all the incoming topics and comments from those groups show up on their dashboard. It is also possible to comment on a topic right from the dashboard’s story feed without having to visit a group.

  

  As the last touch we have added a layout that enables a person to view or search all the incoming topics from the groups and people profiles that they are following.

  In the upcoming releases of Anahita™ as we are developing the libraries for tagging and folksonomy, all the topics within a discussion board can be tagged by the community members.

  Anahita™ Groups 1.0 Birth release now available 

  

  This is the first birth release in the collection Anahita™ social applications and one of the most essential ones. We have been using the Anahita™ Groups for about 6 months now to provide service and support to the Anahitapolis members. The only problem was that until recently only the website administrators were able to create and maintain groups. In the 1.0 Birth release any of user types within the system, depending on the configuration, can be allowed to create their own groups, assign administrators, and maintain them.

  

  An Anahita™ group profile is just like a person profile except that a group represents a collection of people coming together to collaborate and stay updated in regards with a shared goal or context. A group has:

  1. an avatar
  2. identity (title, description)
  3. a story feed
  4. a social graph
  5. a collection of social application that are available within it such as (Photos, Discussions, blogs, etc.)

   

  

  Instances of applications such as discussions, photos, blogs, etc. work within group and people profiles. A group can be followed just like how a person can be followed. A group is entitled to privacy just like a person is entitled to privacy. Group administrators have the option to remove or ban followers from a group.

  To learn more about the Anahita™ Groups visit this page. Premium members can download the package and install it on the Anahita™ 1.5.3 and later.

    Please update your broken link for photos for the Anahita premium package. I purchased it yesterday and I do not have time to wait 72 hours for your company to get back to me. This is not acceptable. Time is money. please update this problem. Many thanks!

    @K the link was broken for a short while because we are reorganizing the SVN and building the Anahita Photos Birth release as we speak. We apologize for the inconvenience. The link has been updated and if you can wait a bit longer we will have the stable packages ready too soon. I’ve just sent you an email with more information.
