More Claims of 'Deep' Twitter Integration in iOS 5

isnt that annoying? If im busy, the last thing i want is a useless notification about some senseless post of, for example, Adobe "Quarterly" Upgrades. Or some news story thats most likely rubbish and really just link bait so some site can charge more for their advertising.
>I know someone who built the Twitter integration into iOS5
This kind of stuff can get that Apple engineer in big trouble. It is probably one or two people at Apple who were involved in building it and Robert Scoble is outing them.. For what purpose? Not cool.

Twitter pales in comparison to the release of x-men arcade for iOS.
One of the reasons being it is classic arcade action in the palm of your hand. The other reason is that if you hate x-men arcade, you can delete it from your phone/ipad/touch.

i thought the same thing. Unless it is one of Apple's controlled leaked, someone is going to be hurting soon.
I just wish this service wasnt with such a dumb website such as twitter. Just the name and concept is....well, dumb.
Serious question - what's the app? Because Reeder makes no mention of push. Searching the AppStore for "Reader" doesn't yield anything.
PS.- it better fetch every minute. Not every 15-30 BS.
Delete....
Never mind. If you want the heart of your social interactions to be done through a computer, then go for it.

Apple does need to revamp their notifications, hoping to see that next week.
Most twitter updates obviously don't need to be pushed immediately. But you can selectively choose which ones are, and some are pretty important for me to see ASAP. Your head would spin with some of the crazy deals I have scored on Craigslist.
Lol...
I don't want Twitter integrated in iOS. Therefore, I will move to a platform that has Facebook, and Twitter integrated into it...
The commentators here crack me up.
Everytime I look at the Reeder app, my latest RSS feeds are available with the badge. I prefer this than the buzzer on my phone going off every 10 seconds. I just want to look at my phone, see my notifications and I'll attend to it on my own time, not because Apple told me to.
It is so people can tweet this message reported from an earlier Macrumors post:
"DEAR STEVE I WANT TO KISS YOU HUGS CHOCK"
"I should write to Steve Jobs more often."
"DEAR STEVE I WANT TO KISS YOU HUGS CHOCK"
"I should write to Steve Jobs more often."
Titter is a must
Are you guys nuts. If Apple leaves out something as important as Twitter, it's a fail. 190 million users. I'm sure you can turn it off if you don't want it. But to stay current Apple has to do this. And not teaming up with Facebook is a negative. If you want the iPhone to thrive it has to pick up the newest tech and social tech is where it's at. Wake up.

Therein lies the problem then. 90% of the feeds I see can wait til I get around to it. But if someone posts a $500 gift card for 50% face value on craigslist or a $50 Mac mini, that I DO want my buzzer to go off for.
Or, hopefully soon enough, people will text me through Twitter Direct Messages andi can tell AT&T to buzz off with their messaging fees.
WAIT! So Scoble is publicly stating that the Apple Employee who built Twitter into iOS 5 is leaking information???? That team cannot be bigger than two people. What an ass.
Lord forbid! Are you kidding? My apartment building in sunny california a block from the beach is full of young social individuals. Guess how we socialize, face to face! Matter of fact, only a few have a computer and non of us care about twitter or facebook. So i would say, its progressive and shaping the very heart of YOUR social circle. I wouldnt want a computer in the middle of my social circle
If your using a computer to socialize it isnt really social and twitter is not shaping the very heart of our social interactions
Amen to that.
It could be as simple as adding a social networking option in Settings to enter your Twitter account info and making it part of the API for app developers to adopt the setting. So you don't have to re-enter it for every app that uses Twitter.
I use Twitter to promote our Celtic FC supporters club which has followers all over the world. It's amazing how many followers we have (1000+) and we haven't ever really advertised the fact we are on Twitter
It's good to mass communicate upcoming matches, announcements, etc. but I find it really hard to follow conversations between other users.
I guess I'm an old threaded message or RSS feed kind of guy.

It's business. It's a growth industry. A powerful medium is a powerful medium. Communicating via computer and mobile devices - in a variety of ways - is a reality we'll all need to live with. No need to use them if you don't want to, just live with them. No other choice, really.

What it means for human beings and physical social interaction isn't the point. That's for sociologists to discuss. This is about growth markets in tech, the opportunities to address them, and the potential to appeal to an even wider audience. If it's done right it could be of mutual benefit. Who knows, Apple might jockey for an even closer partnership with Twitter. Apple might even look into buying them. The possibilities are legion.
You're absolutely right, my opinion in question is just...an opinion. That said (and without offense), you are the last person to be subjective in these regards. If Apple were baring Social Network integration, youd be there to hail their decision accordingly; sorry LTD, but your legacy of posts delegitamize any banner of subjectivity...Im sure youre an awesome person though
Apple already "addresses" this Social Network oriented market through desired applications...Facebook/Twitter apps already exist for those who want them (with notifications!). This "deeper" integration is analogous to Apple's mandatory inclusion of YouTube on the iPhone; of which I really dont use.
And in case you didnt catch it, my snarky comment earlier was more a moral rebuke on those who have replaced real social interaction and relationships, with social networking. Though tech savy, 24, and very open to discarding the status quo when needed...the best friendships I have are based on things that no Social Network could replace (Time Together). But thats just another one of those weird opinion things
Stay well
