Not sure how much you could do on a stand-alone site/distro, but the ability to push content updates and media to multiple sites, social networks, and aggregators would be a great feature. The following (non-Drupal) services provide good examples of this type of functionality:

This is actually something I've been trying to sort out. Before we can address syndication we need to get a solid publishing system in place I think, but as far as syndication options I'm leaning towards more of a OStatus style federated web support. I know the trend right now is integrating with private entities like Facebook, Twitter et al but decentralized networking seems like the most ideal and open way to syndicate data via things like Pubsubhubbub (aka PuSH) and Salmon.

In the meantime there might be some good intermediary solutions utilizing PuSH enabled RSS/Atom feeds and importing that into Facebook and Twitter.

Definitely agree this would be a key feature. I wonder if something like Houston, or it's underlying components, could provide some options - http://houstoncommand.com/

Not a high priority at the moment, need to focus on other tasks first.

Discuss and share your experiences with syndication and third party aggregation here.

Currently we're evaluating the following solutions on http://live.pushtape-panels.gotpantheon.com/

* http://drupal.org/project/addthis as a simple way to share content with social network sites (see example)
* http://drupal.org/project/follow to add sitewide links to various social networking sites. (see example)
* http://drupal.org/project/twitter to associate and display one or more Twitter accounts (see example)

This combination of modules could provide the basic set of social networking features that many artists are used to and require.

Title: Content Distribution, Syndication, Aggregation » Content Distribution and Syndication

changing title since pulling/aggregating content would probably be a separate feature

i would call this feature request pushtape_connect and have it do more than aggregation and syndication.

modules i would use:

  • connector for authentification of users via Twitter, LinkedIn, Drupal OAuth Login Provider, Facebook, Google+, Flickr ...
  • activity stream for aggregating news from various sources
  • channels to publish content on some other third-party applications
  • services in case we need them

I also think this question comes later, in the meanwhile, people insterested in this topic will appreciate this service:
http://ifttt.com (If This Then That)
It allows you to feed any RSS stream to prettymuch anyservice available out there. Very handy.

Some good suggestions in the comments for those interested in social media integration.

There is also http://www.drupal.org/project/pushtape_services which provides JSON output per track/album and an embeddable widget feature.
