As a strong advocate of IBM Connections and a heavy WordPress user (8 sites and counting), I’m really really pleased to see this new integration from the expert folks at AppFusions:

AppFusions logoFeatures include:

  • Post to Connections Activity Stream when a blog post is published
  • Display Connections Community Card as a WordPress widget
  • WordPress gravatar/profile pic replaced by image from Connections profile
  • Show Connections business card on avatar hover
  • Append Connections business card to the end of blog posts

Here’s some screenshots:

I’m always been really impressed by AppFusions’ work in the past, particularly in relation to integration on the Atlassian Jira/Confluence platforms and with regard to SugarCRM.  

I can’t wait to get this deployed on one of my demo environments and to start demoing it to customers.  Great work!
