  By: quipper8 on on 7/1/15 for version 3.7

  thanks

• custom support 

  By: Cadav3r on on 7/1/15 for version 2.8

  yah, what about reddit support.and it would be cool if it were customizable so you could use it with up-and-coming sites such as Darksunlight Productions.i use darksunlight much more than even facebook....tht said, it is quite useful, but could be more flexible.

• Problem with UTF-8 coding and facebook status 

  By: soba@ukw.edu.pl on on 7/1/15 for version 3.5

  This Zimlets (ver 3.4) can't change / add facebook status, when we use UTF-8 code (tested with Polish UTF-8 - ZCS 7.1.3). 

• Makes more fun

• Does not work with Zimbra 8 

  By: eswing on on 7/1/15 for version 3.7

  This zimlet does not work with Zimbra 8, is there an update coming?

• Use it every day 

  By: GregA on on 7/1/15 for version 2.1.7.3

  There's no need for a dedicated social media client; much more convenient to use this and have my accounts with me on any computer via a browser interface.

• Very cool.... 

  By: Andy from Zimbra on on 7/1/15 for version 2.1.7.3

  A great way to quickly glance at your social networks without leaving your email program.

• Linkedin and XING? 

  By: krabina on on 7/1/15 for version 2.8

  As there is already a LinkedIn Zimlet in Zimbra 7 I wonder why I can only search contacts in LinkedIn? It woult be great if we could use the social zimlet to post status messages to Linked in via the socialise bar.Integration to XING would also be highly appreciated.For Facebook and Twitter it is great!

• Very cool 

  By: MKersloot on on 7/1/15 for version 2.1.7.7

  Easy to use and really no fiddling needed. Only a bit overwhelming at first sight, but that's easy adjusted to your personal needs.Great!!

• Not working on ZCS FOSS 8.0.7 + webclient 

  By: lleniere on on 5/10/14 for version 3.7

  I found no way to make this zimlet function properly on my server + using the web client. Once deployed a tab "Social" is added, but one can't add an account for Facebook or Twitter, can't configure DigI think development of this this zimlet stopped a while ago (version 6). That's a pity..

• No longer works 

  By: bhwong on on 7/31/13 for version 3.7

  This zimlet no longer works as the links are outdated/broken and the API used are no longer supported by the social media websites. Any update???

• Will this work on Zimbra 8? 

  By: Netrex on on 5/22/13 for version 3.7

  It seems outdated...

• Facebook account work around 

  By: Superches on on 5/12/13 for version 3.7

  I could not load the facebook account, found a post on the forum about loading in web browser still didn't work.I tried 3 browsers (IE, Google chrome and Firefox) finally decided to load earlier versions of the zimlet and try them.version 2.1.7.8 worked, I did try to load the latest version again but it would n't connect.In the Zimbra preferences tab, click zimlet and open the zimlet gallery. find the social zimlet page and download version 2.1.7.8.open zimbra and click setup, click open in web browser. go to preferences tab and unistall the version of social zimlet. Then install the older version of the zimlet.when setting up the account i had to clear the browsing history after each time before i clicked the next button.goodluck

• It appears the Application that allows for connectivity on FB has been removed or deleted.  

  By: lundrigan on on 1/3/13 for version 3.7

  Would like to see the functionality added back, is an update expected?This would include removing the TweetMeme and Digg functionality since TweetMeme is gone and Digg no longer has an API available. Thoughts.

• Can't add Facebook 

  By: Rick_B on on 11/22/12 for version 3.7

  As so many other people, I can't add a FaceBook account. Too bad, seems like it would be a great option.

• Not working 

  By: simonfishley on on 7/9/12 for version 2.1.7.7

  Apologies. This is not a review but there is nowhere to send a support request. I installed the zimlet on the server successfully on 6.07, and enabled it in the default COS and in my user account but nowhere do I see any option in preferences to enable the social zimlet.Any advice appreciated. ThanksSimon

• Twitter not working 

  By: skipx on on 8/11/11 for version 2.8

  I have problems setting up Twitter.In the Zimbra forum I found that these problems exist on Linux, Windows and Snow Leopard. Myself using Zimbra Desktop 1.1.1 GA. Since 7.0.1 this problem was not solved.  

• 2.8 not working on zimbra 6.0.9 

  By: number9 on on 6/28/11 for version 2.8

  When it is installed, its description in Zimbra is ${msg.description}, and the users can not add it to the list of zimlets in preferences. I do not know how to file a bug report on this zimlet (this is why the zimlets are bad, in general. It is nearly impossible to contact the creater of the zimlet!!!)The old version worked fine... although adding support for other sites (who uses digg? no-one, thats who) would be nice (reddit, etc).

• cool

  By: nasredin on on 4/22/11 for version 2.8

  By: dlah on on 9/17/10 for version 2.1.7.7

  Any hope for Reddit support?
