New Web Part and Free for a Limited Time: "Feed Master" for SharePoint & Twitter Released Today

SYDNEY - July 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Kenzai Software announces the release of the fastest and easiest to use SharePoint web part to integrate Twitter Feeds on your SharePoint website.

Named “Feed Master” for SharePoint and Twitter, the web part gives you the ability to bring your SharePoint site to life with Twitter feeds in a matter of minutes.

Now you have the capability to add Tweets from a specific user timeline or by performing simple and advanced Twitter searches.  You can choose to include or exclude retweets, enable or disable Tweet links, and even customize how your feed looks by showing or hiding Avatars (profile images), full name, account name, timestamp and the Tweet actions bar (the reply, retweet, favorite area).  If desired, advanced appearance customization can easily be achieved by applying your own styles.

With the new release of the Twitter v1.1 API it is no longer an option to use simple JavaScript code to display Tweets in a secure manner, because Twitter requires the use of the ‘oAuth’ authentication approach.  Now the only safe way of doing this is with a web part like the one Kenzai Software has created.  

Also of interest, Twitter now enforces low and strict request limits to prevent the service from being abused. The impact for you is that if you are using your own custom Twitter web part or another vendor, you may not be protected from being “blacklisted” by Twitter which will easily occur if you are showing Tweets on your corporate intranet, public web site or extranet, or large team site.  Kenzai Software has built smarts into their web part with an “auto caching” mode that ensures the latest Tweets will be displayed unless you are approaching the ‘blacklist’ limit – in which case the most recent cached Tweets will be displayed.

Built with security and reliability in mind, this web part is what you need for displaying Tweets on your enterprise SharePoint site today.

For a limited time, this fully functional web part can be downloaded free of charge for SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013.
