Google, perhaps.
But Apple hasn't made much of an inroad into the social sphere at all. I'm not sure if it's even going to be something that they're going to consider moving into, considering the razor thin margins that social network companies make.

- cube13 14y agoiOS does have the twitter integration. I'm not sure why Apple(or Google) and Facebook haven't worked out a similar agreement, because it's really a win/win for everyone involved.
