I'd REALLY like to know what possessed Apple to go with Twitter and not Facebook. When I want to share a picture, I want to share it through Facebook, NOT Twitter.
- nikcub 15y agoi'd say that is more Facebook than Apple, fb refused ping. and fb are part of the Microsoft keiretsu
- dominostars 15y agoIt's probably something political, or maybe even technical (such as handling permissions?). Either way, as a user I completely agree that heavy Facebook integration would be more compelling.
- RyanKearney 15y agoThey could have just allowed any app to integrate with the OS. That's why I loved my BlackBerry, any app could add a handler to the OS's context menu for a given item.
- shoota 15y agoThey could similarly expose intents like Android does as well.
- cdcarter 15y agoWeirdly, when I want to share a photo, I want to share it through Twitter and not Facebook. I realize I'm in the minority, but it's a growing minority, and was probably a much better deal to negotiate.
- untog 15y agoI'm confused as to why you even have to negotiate a deal. My Android phone has options for both Facebook and Twitter when you 'share' a photo- any app can plug into the API.
- ryanhuff 15y agoLooking back to Apple's supposed failed attempt to partner with Facebook with their Ping service, this doesn't surprise me.
