Company-wide chatter access through REST api

Question

I am examining the REST api for the chatter system in Salesforce, but I am not finding all of the features that I am hoping for. It appears that all access must be through a single user's oauth. Is it possible to establish company-wide access to chatter? The main use case is that I want to be able to post alerts from my system onto the company chatter feed. These alerts do not come from a specific user, but rather come from the system as a whole. Is this possible?

Answer 1

Everything is done in the context of a user, what I've seen done is to give these systems a dedicated user account, for example we have a user called Jenkins that our Jenkins build server uses to post build results to chatter.
