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.

When you check off Allow Members to leave status updates, and leave restrict status updated to 140 characters unchecked, it only displays the 140 characters in the activity feed.. there's no read more.. just ..., they need to go to your profile page to see the rest of the status... this makes no sense!!!

Thanks for this nice upgrade, Ning!
embedding links in to status update doesn't show the video or embed it 0 just shows the link
just copy the link Mike instead of getting the embed code. Works for me :)
Great work!!!
How can I add items automatically to the feed (like a RSS from my Disqus comments)?
Now I know ... very practical.
Good stuff.
How about you improve the privative settings? so that only friends can see the feed of each other?
