SharePoint, Social Media & RSS Feeds

This demonstration illustrates how to render SharePoint media files in a Silverlight application. (Length: 11:28)

I have a secure SharePoint site that i'm trying to bring in RSS feeds that are encrypted with SSL. When trying to do so I get this message: "The requested RSS feed could not be displayed. Please verify the settings and url for this feed. If this problem persists, please contact your administrator." One feed in particular I was trying to bring in was Microsoft's BPOS status feed: https://rss.microsoftonline.com/feeds.aspx?center=default&chan=notifications&lang=en-us Any input would be greatly appreciated. ** Update: eventviewer shows my server not trusting the root authority from Microsoft's cert. An operation failed because the following certificate has validation errors:\n\nSubject Name: CN=*.microsoftonline.com, OU=Microsoft Online, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US\nIssuer Name: CN=Microsoft Secure Server Authority, DC=redmond, DC=corp, DC=microsoft, DC=com\nThumbprint: 8146E4D98E96CE9740B9A40BFF7287F8F0C9C7FF\n\nErrors:\n\n The root of the certificate chain is not a trusted root authority.. I'm not sure how to add the root authority for this one. Thank you in advance! Sean

I'm developing a Reporting Services 2005 report that includes a Hierarchy field from a SharePoint 2007 list.  The Data Source for the report is an XML type. I would like to display the Hierarchy field on 1 line.  However, it is displaying in 2 or more lines. The field also wraps when rendering to Acrobat (PDF) file.  How can I get rid of the embedded line feed (I believe it's "&#xA").  I've tried using the Replace function in an expression, other functions and changed the properties, e.g., the CanGrow property.  Nothing seems to work. Does anybody have any suggestions?  Thanks.

Hi there, i would like to build a free social networking site to facilitate communication and build communities in the city where i reside. I used to be a member of a social network whose platform was based on NING. It was great experience. Now that i have specialized in SharePoint would like to know how i can leverage my skills without incurring in major costs . I know that there are many other platforms around apart from NING. Any suggestions? or NING is still the most suitable one? Thanks

Given the Social Media emphasis of SharePoint 2010--the emphasis on blogs, wikis, tagging, ranking, etc. I'm wondering if there's an out of the box means to flag content (whether it's in video, picture, doc libs, or even the comments section of a blog) as inappropriate?

Has anyone come across this functionality? I've done a bit of searching with "flag as inappropriate" in my search query and, of course, get lots of blog posts that have that capability enabled! So that's not very useful.

Thanks in advance

i hope jin chen would read this.

i followed his instruction from the link above(in the title)

i still got an error message :

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: An unexpected error occurred while compiling expressions. Native compiler return value: ‘[BC42105] Function 'RemoveDups' doesn't return a value on all code paths. A null reference exception could occur at run time when the result is used.’.

   at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WebServer.ReportingService2010.SetItemDefinition(String ItemPath, Byte[] Definition, Property[] Properties, Warning[]& Warnings)

could anybody tell me what's wrong?

i'm using ssrs 2008 r2

The "Note Board" feature does not seem to be work correctly for me. As per the documentation, Note Board is a place where users can post comments which can viewed by other users.

However in my 2010 site, only the user who adds the comment can see it. [i..e If user A adds "post1" to the note board of a page, then the post does not appear for User B. If user A checks, the post is available.]

For tags, it is possible for an user to mark the tag as private. there is no such provision for a note.

Ok, need some expert advice here. I have setup a new SharePoint Farm, complete, not standalone, with nothing by the My Sites Host site collection. I can access the profiles by https://sharepoint.domain.com/my or by https://sharepoint.domain.com/my/person.aspx?accountname=domain/user. /my/default.aspx works as well. My profile sync is working, I get the data pulled properly from AD for these profiles and it propagates the managers info and org browser, etc. 

For the life of me, I cannot get the Social Connector to do anything for SharePoint. No News Feeds, nothing. I click on Add in the People Pane, and choose "on My Site" and it errors out. 

I have looked through countless blogs, but all of them seem to be centered on the User Profile Service, and mine is obviously working. My users can update their profiles directly on the site, so it's not permissions. 

Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
