Bug Description

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.
