Today we're pleased to release a set of improvements to the Activity Feed feature on Ning 3.0 networks.
The updated Activity Feed allows members to view older items in the feed, and to view new items that have appeared since they loaded the page.
We've expanded the capabilities of Social Feeds so that you can have items automatically added to the Activity Feed via RSS and Twitter.
We've added a status feature, so that your members can leave status updates in the feed, and we've added link parsing for status updates, so that if a member adds a link, for example, to YouTube, the video is embedded and playable directly in the feed. Link parsing and embedding works with a wide variety of sites, including: YouTube, Dailymotion, Vine, Flickr video, Twitter, Soundcloud and Bandcamp. We'll also provide a preview of content for any link to a site that supports the OpenGraph standard.
With this release, members can also comment on status updates and individual photos directly in the feed.
In order to see and activate the new options that are available for the Activity Feed, head to the Activity Feed Settings page in the Social Site Manager.

Do Videos and Chat next. Why is all this functionality being re-implemented anyway? Can't you reuse old code or is that much of a mess?
I don't see 'images" in my feed using a pc. Just uploaded a new pic and only the text is appearing......
Feeling strangely like a guinea pig again........shouldn't this have been fully tested prior to release?
All the new items amd comments that used to be there have disappeared.
And further new items aren't showing up.
Anyone else had this happen?
A quick test with a number of web links, including standard YouTube share links, are not embedding content. Testing on iPad 4 ios7
