BuddyPress.org

An API could be built around this feature, so if I was building a plugin to integrate BP status updates with my Twitter account, I could use functions like:

if ( has_external_account('twitter') ) {

update_external_account_status('twitter', 'Hey, this is an update sent to Twitter')

}



if ( has_external_account('facebook') ) {

update_external_account_status('facebook', 'Hey, this is an update sent to Facebook')

}

And because we’ve already verified the connection to these accounts using OAuth or FB Connect, plugins don’t need to do it every time.
