    Proper URL preview in Orient Me

    We want to have a proper URL preview of URLs posted in a status update on Orient Me. e.g. google.com works, but if you post e.g. a link to Amazon, nothing is previewed. The URL preview should work for all links and needs to be consistent.

    Summarize/Merge multiple content in status updates

    If a user uploads several images or files in one action, a separate status update is generated for each image/file. If there is a large number of images/files, the sequence stream becomes very confusing. Therefore it would be better to merge these...
