Update: beta screen shot at end of the post.
I think it’s about time to unveil my latest PHPmotion addon, which will be available for v3. No price or ETA yet but it will be released within the next month at latest.
So what is it?
It is possibly one of the most useful addons you could ever buy for your website (and I’m not just saying that because I made it 
).
Think Facebook activity wall with search engine benefits. And it doesn’t stop there! With the update wall you will see an increase in user interactivity, people will see groups friends create, the friends they add, videos they upload, comments they leave and a lot more (full list & screenshots soon!).
Why will search engines love this?
Not only does each user have their own update wall listing updates from their friends, there is also a public timeline which is basically a live feed to everything happening on your website in real time!
Once search engines index this they will be back all the time to find out what’s new, crawling links to new videos & audio files within seconds of them being uploaded!
Why will your users love this?
Why do they love facebook? Because they can see what people are doing as they do it. Once a user logs in they can go to their update wall and see what their friends latest actions where. Allowing them to join groups they have created, watch videos they’ve rated & commented on and much more!
Why will you love this addon?
Did you read the above two paragraphs? What more is there to add? Search engines will love it, users will too. Add this to a smart bit of marketing and some optimized seo and watch your site grow!
I will be posting screenshots & more of the features soon, I may even time permitting put up a demo. Let me know your thoughts & ideas in the comments below. Good ideas may see their way into the addon!
Update: I’ve taken a quick screenshot, if you think it looks a bit plain at the moment remember not all features have been added yet. Wait until you see it in action.

YES, i have been waiting for this. If i understand you correct, there will be a “personal” recent, and a “global” recent, Right! Will the global timeline be displayable on the front page?
ps. Dont make us wait too long for this
j/k
By default the global timeline is it’s own page but you could add it into the home page if you wished.
There is probably still a while to go before the release
like I said in my post it should definitely be out in December. I’m trying my best :p
I know you are, and as of now you are my best friend
ill be follow your blog. In time it would be great if you released som more details
that way we could give feedback and comments
There will be a demo soon, don’t worry! Then you can try it out and see what you think.
Cool! .-), ill be the first to try it out
Ben. We are very interested in this new developement.
Please keep us up to speed with the progress.
Thanks
Will do, it’s been delayed though because of the amount of work I have on at the moment. Hopefully in January I’ll be able to finish it.
hey any update regarding this mod?
Hi, sorry I haven’t had time to work on it again yet. I will look into finishing it soon.
Wow I can’t wait for this. I really think it’d be a great addition. Please finish soon!! ha thanks
I still haven’t got round to working on it any more… but I have good news, it looks like I’ll be able to spend time on it this month. We could be seeing a beta release soon!
I give up!
Tommy, I’ve sent you an email. Don’t give up just yet
When will this be ready? Is it a free or paid. If paid how much? Thanks
I’m hoping to have it ready for beta testing in the next week or two. It will be a paid add-on but I haven’t decided on a price yet.
Ok, ill hang on to you !
OMG i have been waiting for to finish this i would love to beta test this i actually have been working on an update wall you post messages to it but not the auto updates wow that makes it so much better i might just trash the one i made.
I too am watching and waiting.. this I hope will be able to add or read any language ? correct? If there is greek characters it will not say “invalid character” or it will work in any language..
thanks
It will work in any language yes. Although whilst it’s in beta it may be a bit buggy
once it’s ready there won’t be any problems with different languages.
