Broadcasting Shortcast
In Present.ly you can “broadcast” messages as a group or as the system. That is, an administrator can create a message that comes “from” the system and is visible to everyone. Similarly, a group manager can broadcast an update that comes “from” the group. Here’s a shortcast demonstrating the feature:
While this is great to use in the application, it has even more use through the Present.ly API. For instance, a software team could tie a post-commit hook to broadcast to a group for the project, instantly updating all members of the team that a new commit has been pushed to the repository. It can also be used for meeting reminders and a number of things we probably haven’t thought of yet!
