follow people on chatter developer edition

Hi

To begin with, I am building a very basic app to explore and evaluate chatter for our requirements.

Have enrolled for Developer edition. Now I have to add couple of more people to follow on chatter. Thereafter get the updates of all the people whom I follow via Oauth and Rest API.

 

Now here comes a newbie problem -

Even after creating our accounts, we cannot search for each other in our respective chatter accounts. Is that due to developer edition or something else?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I assume that you have created multiple developer edition accounts from the sign up page. If that is correct, the instances of salesforce.com that you have generated (a.k.a. orgs) are separate. Each user account you have generated sits in a different environment (org). This is probably why you cannot see each other.

Developer edition orgs has got only 2 user licenses. There are different types of environments that you can use for your development.

I would suggest using Free Edition in your case which lets you add up to 100 users: https://www.salesforce.com/form/signup/freeforce-platform.jsp .

Alternatively, if you are thinking of becoming a partner and create commercial applications you can sign up as  a partner here: http://sites.force.com/partners/PP2PartnerRequestPage?p=P_Registration and have the possibility of creating more orgs as described here:

Thanks. Your diagnosis was correct.

I have signed up for Free Edition for now.

Have a follow up question -

Seems like only invited people can join the account. 

Is there a way the account automatically detects a legitimate user through the email id and verifies it against the registered domain like Yammer?

So my question is if there is a provision where invitation is not necessary to join a organization account/domain on chatter?

 

Thanks in advance

Check out http://chatter.com

 

This works by the email domain name to associate Chatter users with an 'org'

Hi, Were you managed to integrate chatter with yammer. Have tried the sfdc oauth playground, but I'm stuck there. Appreciate if you can help me on this
