Back in March, Adobe launched a new version of its CQ product and I blogged about it a couple of times:
At the time of the announcement, Adobe also announced CQ 5.5 Social Communities, but had not yet shipped that feature. Well, I missed the original shipping announcement, so I’m catching up to it now.
On May 15, 2012, Adobe announced that CQ 5.5 Social Communities was available. Social Communities builds on to some existing features already available in Adobe CQ 5.5, such as “developing and managing blogs, forums, comments, and ratings, as well as connecting to social networks, across all aspects of an organization’s digital presence”.
You can now include login to CQ 5 using Twitter or Facebook and then personalize their experience using information from their profile or data from other systems. Adobe has included several social plugins in CQ 5.5 that include:Activity feeds
- “Like” buttons
- Comments
- Twitter Share
- Twitter Follow
- Twitter Search
These new features will make it even easier for site managers to add social capabilities to their websites.
You can see a video of some of the social plugins on YouTube or inline below.
