I'm writing a paper about website functionality so far I've covered some of them :
Event Calendars and Registration, and Appointment Setting
Product Databases and Wizard-like applications
Flash and other Interactive Multimedia Presentations
Online Publishing and Article Modules
Surveys and Interactive tools that entice Feedback
Content Management Tools
This is a research project(sophomore year project), can anyone help me to add some more items to the list, I just need functionality I'll google the rest. Thank you
Assuming that you're talking about more bog-standard websites, rather than specialty sites, I would add the following to your list:
Authentication and Authorization
Analytics
Communication
Administration
User account and profile management

Is there a way to get news from SharePoint online using Microsoft Graph?
On this page from Microsoft they announce that:
If you use the SharePoint app on iOS, you get the first look at the
mobile experience of team news. When you tap the News tab, you will
see a list of aggregated news using the intelligence of the Microsoft
Graph from the sites you work in, the sites you follow and the sites
your colleagues work in. SharePoint mobile on iOS gives you one place
to catch up on the news from across your intranet. That’s your news in
your pocket!
But when looking in Microsoft Graph documentation for SharePoint, it doesn't seem to be any APIs for fetching aggregated news and other items from SharePoint? Am I missing something or is the the office blog just marketing talk?
The Microsoft Graph is still a work in progress. They're probably using the search api to surface news on mobile devices.

I recently entertained the idea of developing an app that aggregates Instagram data of a small community and displays it in different UI clusters, derived by certain analytics. While the API provides all the required endpoints for my requirements, I started re-inventing the app over and over again, to satisfy the Instagram platform policy, terms and conditions as well as the login permissions for the different scopes.
According to Instagram API documentation there are 3 categories for the scopes of all apps:
To help individuals share their own content with 3rd party apps: basic
This use case is meant for apps that allow the general public to login with Instagram to get their own content; for example, an app that allows people to print their own pictures. Apps that fall into this use case will only have access to the basic permission.
To help brands and advertisers understand and manage their audience and digital media rights: basic, public_content, comments, relationships, likes, follower_list
This use case is meant for products that don't have a public facing login integration, but are gated to brands and advertisers. The product must support either multiple brands and advertisers (e.g. a social media management platform) or multiple users within a single brand or advertiser organisation.
To help broadcasters and publishers discover content, get digital rights to media, and share media with proper attribution: basic, public_content, comments
This use case is meant for products that don't have a public facing login integration, but are gated to broadcasters and publishers. The product must support either multiple broadcasters and publishers, or multiple users within a single broadcasters or publisher organization.
Ideally, my app would benefit as many analytical endpoints as possible, particularly if I can process the list of followers and public content. This means my app should fall under group (2). However, the target community of this app was not consisted of brands and advertisers. Group (3) is also not an option, since my community is consisted of individuals. Then I was thinking that group (1) will fit my needs. But that was also not the case, since according to platform policy, I won't be allowed to put the media in different UI clusters:
You cannot replicate the core user experience of the Instagram apps or web site. For example, do not build a media viewer.
Then I started comparing the use cases with existing live apps. I noticed that if they would carefully follow the terms and conditions, as well as platform policies, they would also be unfit for all rules imposed by Instagram. Let me provide examples:
minter.io (broadcasters == individuals?)
minter.io focuses on Instagram analytics. Thus, it falls in group (2). However, anyone can register on this system, meaning any individual that owns an Instagram account. How is this a valid case when brands and advertisers are not gated? Furthermore, even if those are somehow filtered in some future phase (which they claim they do manually), why is it allowed to generate a report of a "competitor" account, when the ID of that account could be any individual, and not an advertiser?
pikore.com (discover / search function?)
Apart from having the similar issues of minter.io, where everyone can login, I fail to understand how is it possible for pikore.com to provide a "discover" functionality which is exactly what Instagram offers on its mobile apps? Is that not breach of platform policy? Or the fact that it is also able to display all media items of a given account mixed with advertisement? For example: pikore.com/arianagrande. This breaches also other terms stated in General Terms of Platform Policy:
24. Add something unique to the community. Don't use the Instagram APIs to replicate or attempt to replace the functionality or essential user experiences of Instagram.com or any of Instagram's apps.
25. Respect the way Instagram looks and functions. Don't offer experiences that change it.
26. Don't attempt to build an ad network on Instagram.
ElseWatcher (another media viewer?)
I absolutely adore this app. But the fact that the Instagram data is organized by location and date, it seems to me that it's another media viewer with extra functionalities.
socialbakers.com (free social tracker?)
socialbakers.com, while providing an amazing interface, it requests public_content scope for any individual user of instagram.com. On top of that, without providing any mechanism to gate the broadcasters, offers their services as "Free Instagram Analytics Tool".
Maybe I am wrong, but the way I see it, the Instagram API rules, are not applied consistently to all 3rd party apps. Can anyone explain whether those are inconsistencies indeed, or whether I got things the wrong way?
While at it, I would also like to know how is it possible to have the term clause "1. Instagram users own their media (stated here) in conjunction with "17. Don't apply computer vision technology to User Content, without our prior permission" (stated here). Does that mean that if I am an Instagram API user that agrees to these terms, and I perform computer vision on any image that also happens to be on Instagram, that I am breaching terms?
Have you seen this cases?

After June 1st all Instagram 3rd party apps should pass a review. The review should contain video screencast with
Provide a link to a video screencast showing the experience in your
app. Please show how your integration uses all permissions you are
requesting, any interface to moderate content or getting rights to
media, and any Instagram login experience. Since your app may be in
sandbox mode, you can use data from sandbox users to showcase the
integration.
I think, Instagram wouldn't have approved any app which violate their rules.
I'm attempting to justify this functionality to my boss.
So as the title says, what are the advantages of mySites in SharePoint 2007?
We were exploring the use of MySites as a repository of useful information on the employees. As an example, I could convey my skill set through MySites (i.e. ASP.NET, JavaScript, etc.) and then someone else could do a search for that skill set and be presented with people like myself. You could do the same thing with project experience, etc..
We were also exploring the possibility of importing information from AD and our HR database, associating it with employee profiles in SharePoint, and then making that information accessible through search. You could see the organizational hierarchy, phone numbers, departmental information, etc..
Lastly, individuals can use MySites as a way of sharing information (Word documents, etc.) with other employees. This is an alternative to emailing documents, hosting them on network shares, creating shares on desktops, etc..
Unfortunately we hit a road block (huge changes in the company) that have put this initiative on hold - but we were really excited about doing this and it seemed like a real possibility as we began exploring the functionality in dev.
For me SharePoint 2007 MYSITE is a central location to manage and store users' documents, content, links, and contacts.
SO far I have not explored other possibilities.
I would need to capture events that users do on a SharePoint site (or at least Central Administration) - kind of "click on Site Settings" -> " click on Master pages gallery" etc...
I guess that's quite easy as a Sharepoint site is in the end a simple web site - but what would be the best approach?
Thank you!
MOSS Usage Tools from Codeplex is a solution that process SharePoint usage logs into BI.
friendly repository. This solution can monitor, audit, and gain valuable insight from the content and activity information within MOSS
http://usage.codeplex.com/
You could rely on the SharePoint STS usage logs to provide a list of pages that were visited by a given login.
The raw logs provide a list of every url visited.
I used this post to create an app to import what I wanted to a database.
We're in the process of building a MOSS site and one of the 3rd party tools we're using has a requirement of AD/ADAM as the authentication provider. We would like the user's to manage their own accounts (e.g. resetting passwords, registering new users, etc) so we're going to need WebParts for administering users in an AD/ADAM/LDAP DB.
Are there any SharePoint WebParts out there already to do this?
I came across one today called AD User Editor. It states you can edit nearly any Active Directory property, and it works in multi-domain environments.
From the UI screenshot it appears to use a web part and take on the SharePoint look and feel.
Even better it's on CodePlex so any problems you can fix yourself!
