Default the vB "Whats On Your Mind!!" Microblogging Feed

Improve community stickiness and immersion with the "Whats on Your Mind Mod"

Microblogging is gaining popularity. Microblogging really is about people just telling you what's on their mind, their thoughts, what they are doing -- that kind of stuff. These types of "topics" typically don't get posted to forums, but to Twitter and Facebook status updates.

Now with this mod, you can bring status updates to your forum instead of Twitter and/or Facebook.

I've been trying to build a mod and unfortunately, haven't had success but I think this would be a big hit if anyone wants to give it a shot ...

I've been trying to create a SIDEBAR on my forumhome that allows forum users to post "What's on Their Mind" which gets listed in a side feed of user thoughts.

This mod creates a greater community immersion -- it allows the forum to stay active in thought and ideas even between threads and posts.

Here is a snap shot of the idea:


Unfortunately, I've been unable to implement due to limited programming knowledge:

Requirements:

1) new table in the DB: Mind (UserID / TimeStamp / StatusText)
2) Sidebar Template (Call to DB to pull last X number of Statuses)


Anyone want to give it a shot?
