And I am not sure if Social is the key to making apple more successful or whether its their inherent weakness. All I see today are solutions where social seems to be tacked on as an afterthought regardless of whether it makes sense or not.
And I cant speak for others, but I am not excited about a Facebook phone. A hardware device does not seem to be a natural progression for a company like Facebook. And allowing Facebook, an entity that has now taken dimensions beyond a simple social network in to a Central identity provider, to track every single aspect of my life (location, calls, contacts, browsing habits, etc..) is simply a non-starter.
But maybe an FB phone will appeal to the 18-24 crowd for whom privacy is not as important as the desire to be social.
- Corrado 15y agoMy first thought on this was the Microsoft phone platform (Windows Phone 7, or whatever it's called this week). I haven't played with it but it looks like they might have had a chance at hooking up with Facebook/Twitter/etc. and splashing their app on the WP7 dashboard. However, it's probably too late for that as the Windows phone platform seems to be heading down (again)...
- nigelsampson 15y agoThey have done this with Facebook, after setting up your People hub becomes a merged list of both your contacts and facebook friends. Status updates from both etc. I believe similar Twitter integration is in the works.
- Raphael 15y agoFacebook can merge with contacts in Android too.
