Bug Description

See https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=7486&offset=0&limit=10#post30117

One shortcoming of Mahara journals, as compared to other blogging platforms, is that Mahara lacks the ability to automatically make posts in other social media platforms.

For example, if I generate a post in Instagram, the Instagram site can automatically re-post this to Facebook and Twitter for me.

Some complications to consider:

- What URL would you want to generate, to post to these other networks? This may require implement artefact-level permissions first, in order for it to make sense, so that you can post the direct link to the blog entry.

- Mahara's openGraph metadata is currently a bit incomplete and obsolete, so it doesn't generate very useful summaries for Facebook and other social media sites when you embed a Mahara link.
