I am not big on the whole facebook or myspace thing, but I saw a commercial for a winbloze fone that had an interesting feature/app and was wondering if there is something like that for android (vibrant).
It had a window split in to fourths, one part was for notifications via facebook, one for myspace, one for twiiter, one for sms/emails.
is there anything like this? Could something like this be created?
That's not an app - that's Windows Phone 7.
Vibrant has similar, with the Feeds & Updates widget.

There is an app launcher like this. Its called "Windows Phone Android." I've seen it before and it spreaded thru twitter like wildfire,but it never caught interest for me. IMO i dont think its ready for primetime just yet as it does seem buggy and lacks some nice features.
theres an app for that.... haha

I wonder if someone in this fantastic forun will be able to make a tab which contains facebook - like the twitter tab... would be grateful.
i have used search but found nothing.
OMG that is such a great idea. I would luv that feature!
love it if can be possible
Also for Sense 2.1 please
I would LOVE to have something like this on sense 2.1...

Whilst I'd love this too, it's far too difficult to program, isn't it?
seems like you could use mtp to create the tab and cfacebook within that.

cant be too hard if im not mistaken then someone made a programs tab for sense 2.5(which im running) so please do make it
i hate twitter =X
be ace with a streaming interface to so you could leave the tab open and watch ya friends updates come in live whilst in a desktop charger or something ;-)
sure Sony Erricson has this on one of thier phones..
Whatta great idea!!!
faboulus idea... we're waiting master
i never understood why they didn't incorporate this anyway...facebook over twitter any day.
+1 This is THE missing tab...
I so want this tab too!
FB Tab
This sort of tab breaks away from what HTC intended for the Sense UI. HTC intended us to use The Favorites tab and Contacts to see all the Facebook info. you can scroll through your contacts and see all the Facebook status and go to the contact to see their albums's etc.
The only reason that Twitter isn't integrated as most people don't "Follow" their friends on Twitter, only lists, websites, blog info etc.
thats all that missing from sense 2.5 is the facebook tab. Once its in their and its runs like the iphone facebook app we will be in heaven.
This is the one thing I was thinking "Wheres the facebook tab?"
Twitter got removed as soon as I had it...facebook tab would be simply awesome!
I guess its harder to implement than a twitter tab? Surely possibly though!
It would be great if it allowed you to update your status at the top of the tab then just showed recent updates below that. Something simple and easy to use.
Okay I use twitter a lot and have around 39,000 followers and it makes it hard to keep up with everything. So I use listing to track important things, on iOS I used an app called Twitbird, and it keeps track of lists and searches in a similar way to an rss reader, and shows the number of updates per list along with mentions etc. Also when you enter the list it starts at the exact point you left off at so there's no wasted time scrolling through hundreds of updates just to scroll back up.
Now I have not been able to find an app like this for Android anywhere! So is there any that exist? How hard would it be to create one? Or am I pretty out of luck and will have to keep whipping out the old Iphone?
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum I'm rather new here.
Did you try tweetdeck? It does support lists.

Yes I did try tweetdeck but it doesn't support lists in the same manner of tracking how many tweets have been added to the list and it doesn't start you where you left off reading. It's very frustrating not being able to keep track of my twitter without the old Iphone, its inferior in every other way. There are is also another app that I used to use called "echofon" which didn't have the features I loved from Twitbird but it informed you of any mentions when your tweets where re-tweeted or favorited so when I paired the two together it was great.
I've tried adding my lists to a rss like Google Reader but twitter makes sure that's close to impossible -_-
Ok. I tried some apps, but none of them supports the functions you are looking for. Lists yes, but nothing else.
But since I read your first post...I have to say that I would like to have those features too as Im using twitter mainly for news.
So if you find something, please come back here and tell me about

On my phone I get FB notifications (although I often turn the feature off because it gets on my nerves) and I can sync contacts.
What features are you hoping of having integrated or 'incorporated', exactly, and why?
They could do but we will have top wait and see of they do.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Google +. I wish they could do those cool "Publish to wall" status for Google + directly as an option after taking a picture or something alike.
what do u mean by integraed .its already there in my phone ......the contact pictures are synced with the fb pictures and the notifications r there
Where exactly does iOS have social network integration other than Twitter?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
what I meant is, for example, after taking pictures, you have the option to upload the image to twitter (on iOS). I mean, those simple stuff that could be integrated by android by their own ways to avoid copyright problems.

Uhhh, yeah. My phone can do that, automatically with a setting...though it doesn't give the option if set.. Look under sync settings, and in the settings for G+. I'm pretty sure Gingerbread phones could also do that.

You can do that already. Once you sign in to your Facebook/Twitter account on Android, you can share pictures and videos directly to them. Take a picture>Gallery>Share>Facebook/Twitter. It's a much better system than iOS.
In iOS, Apple has to specifically enable sharing, like they did for Twitter. But in Android, the share menu is universally accessible, so any application can integrate into the share menu if it wants to allow stuff to be shared easily to it.
Click thanks if I've helped you.
I suppose I haven't seen the all out potential of android. I apologize for being a newbie...

I have to say I wasn't familiar with Instagram directly, but it's difficult to read mobile news blogs without having ran across a lot of hype and fanfair about this apps impending arrival.
Is this what the iOS community is so endeared to? I can't really grasp the appeal of this rather pointless basic and silly app.
I honestly don't understand why Instagram is so damned popular.
Wasn't it the Apple AppStore App of the year?
I read an article somewhre that talked about how Iphone users were like, "ew, Instagram is on android, " and crap like that. i guess the hipsters can keep their crappy app. I like pixlr-o-matic and camera zoom better anyway!
is the camera settings button missing from the vibrant version of the app? i'm able to navigate to the settings section but there isn't anywhere to change the camera settings as i've seen mentioned in various places.
Ok. So up until now I have been using TweetDeck (or rather TweakDeck -- it's improved counterpart) and I guess I can still use it for a bit but Twitter has announced that the Adobe Air, Android, and iOS versions will be discontinued and will be removed from their app stores by May. There isn't a chance that just keeping the apk around will suffice though because apparently the app relies on depreciated APIs as well. What I'm looking for is a Twitter/Facebook client that will support custom columns to be added. I had 3 on mine. One for a work feed with very little activity (they post very specific updates) and a couple of other people that I want to watch that would of gotten lost in the noise of my news feed otherwise. I'm not finding any clients other than TweetDeck/TweakDeck that provide this. Can anyone provide me with any suggestions?
Thanks.
Source (app being discontinued): http://tweetdeck.posterous.com/an-update-on-tweetdeck
P.S. - I'm willing to take a Twitter only client with the custom columns since I only used it on that end but it becomes a pain since I've already gotten into a trend of reposting some twitter items onto my facebook profile for visibility and having just one app makes it easier.
Plume is worth checking out
You could try Ubersocial for Twitter.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twidroid&hl=en
It has the ability to cross post to facebook as well.
This is a very good app, and is my go-to app for the twittersphere.
Trying Plume and Scope right now, and I believe I've tried Ubersocial in the past
Any app that lets you have one unified timeline that displays both Twitter AND Facebook posts at the same time? Plume wants them to be separate columns, and Scope wants to add additional 'social content' from places like Reddit, The Verge, and ThinkGeek into my timeline
All horrible
I've tried the following:
HootSuite
Plume
Scope
and they are all terrible. They contain much too much crap, they all want me to register with THEIR service (I need more accounts like I need a hole in the head), but worst of all, they don't allow me a single-column view of both Facebook and Twitter. Arguably the best feature of TweetDeck/TweakDeck. Also, they all have ads, and they're all annoying.
I honestly don't know what to do. I've been searching for a client ever since the original announcement, but I haven't been able to find anything. At this point I'm considering just writing my own. I'm not going to say "how hard can it be?", but as a software developer by trade, it's not just idle speculation. I think the hardest would be getting the Twitter and Facebook APIs in line. No ads, no registration, no bull****.
Edited to add: Mind you I don't *want* to have to do this, so any suggestions would be preferable.
Yeah, Plume seems like the best alternative, and it lacks significant features. I can't see every column status all at once, can't customize individual column notifications, and can't add users to their own column. May have to add requests to their support page. But I'm just using TweakDeck until it stops functioning. Apparently Facebook has already stopped working, so I haven't even seen Facebook updates for awhile. Lol. Hate when there's not that one perfect solution.

I still see facebook updates in TweakDeck. Occasionally, on the desktop version (0.38.2), the facebook updates won't come in, but a restart or two (of the application) usually solves that.
Bump. Anyone find any good clients that allow custom columns? The next best thing I've found so far is Scope Beta.

So Tweetdeck stopped working for everyone, right? Want to make sure, cause I don't want to let go. Lol. Thought it was supposed to end in May, so at least I got a couple more months out of it. Will have to try Seesmic. Didn't stack up when I tried it a couple years ago. Hootsuite looks good, but still can't find one that adds a single user's timeline *and* per-column updates.

I'm looking for this exact same thing too! After TweetDeck stopped working, I immediately Googled and found TweakDeck, which is basically the exact same thing. Worked great, until the past week or so. Guessing it's dead again, but this time I didn't have any luck finding a good copy.
So yeah, I'll try that Scope Beta out, is it on PC too perhaps?

Unfortunately there's no desktop version. But I think TweetDeck for desktop is still up. I think only the Android version is dead. I don't think the desktop version of TweetDeck allows for custom Facebook columns though.

Ah yes my bad, Desktop version still works, very nice. I was just using a very outdated version.
Haven't tried Scope yet on Android, all I want is the lists tbh, I don't use facebook colums or so. I just want a much better overview of all the people I follow, and I'm currently doing that with lists.

If you want just Twitter lists then Plume is your best bet. It's what I've been using. It works like a dream and allows you to have columns for your lists. It's also got a nice clean modern UI.
