Abstract: Systems and methods for creating and presenting task objects from newsfeed user entries are provided. A system may include a social networking provider, a task engine, and a client device. A method may include delivering, to a client device, a newsfeed user interface with a newsfeed having a plurality of entries; receiving, from the client device, a request to create a task based on an entry from the plurality of entries; connecting with a task engine, the task engine configured to create task objects; transmitting entry information associated with the entry to the task engine; and receiving, from the task engine, a confirmation indicating that a first task object was created based on the entry information.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for saving workflow execution state and mapping the execution state to graphical elements overlaid on a graphical drawing representing the workflow generated by a separate application. The graphical drawing may be a flowchart drawing corresponding to one or more paths of the workflow and the graphical elements may provide status information associated with individual steps or groups of steps of the workflow execution.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies are described herein for aggregating and presenting tasks. A task engine communicates with task systems that host tasks. The tasks are rendered in a user interface provided by the task engine. Changes to the tasks within the user interface can be written to the task systems and to copies of the tasks stored in a cache associated with the task engine. In some embodiments, the tasks are stored at the task systems and referenced by the user interface provided by the task engine. Thus, changes to the tasks can be written to the tasks stored at the task systems. User interfaces for viewing and editing the tasks are also provided.
