More Claims of 'Deep' Twitter Integration in iOS 5

As long as I can upload pics to Facebook without having to launch the Facebook app. :/
 
This reminds me of all the hoopla with the youtube integration in previous presentations. Sometimes Apple tries too hard or tries to get ahead of the game.
 
What about deeply intergrating everything like android does? That would be a great start to getting me back to iOS!
 
I use twitter but rarely tweet. I follow people. I wished this integration was more open... that is let me share whatever platform (twitter, tumblr, facebook, etc.) to "integrate" with instead of only really working well with 1 and forget all the rest. (at least they picked Twitter instead of Ping).

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

Quite honestly, it wouldn't really affect me. But Id' be left a bit puzzled as to why they adopted that position. But they don't actually bar it, nor would they. Which wouldn't make sense anyway.

Their decision for closer integration, however, is a smart one. It would be smart for any of Apple's competitors to do it as well. Though if they did I wouldn't really care since I have no interest in other platforms aside from natural comparisons with Apple.
 
99.999% of the power of Twitter has never been recognized let alone tapped. There's a lot more to it than posting what the likes of Sarah Palin and Martin Sheen do. Machine to machine tweets, twitter as a message bus, open auth - you can build a lot with the technology.

I don't think Apple is thinking "Winning".

So sad if true

"Next week will be a huge week for those of us who have lived on Twitter for last few years."

That is not called living that is called wasting time until you die.

I feel the same way. Nobody I know - including myself - really "get" twitter. I have had an account for a couple of years, and have twitter running most of the time, but I rarely look at it. I just can't understand what the big deal is about it and why Apple would want to make it part of IOS.
 
Hmmm..... kinda like the 'deep' integration facebook was to have in iOS 4?


Uh no and big whoop if true. Steve and Co. are going to have to do MUUUUUUUUCH better than that!
 
Someone here must like Twitter

So many posts about how stupid Twitter is, etc. MacRumors has over 114,000 Twitter followers, so someone here must like it! I happen to be a huge Twitter user. It's a very valuable research and marketing tool if used properly. I think one of Twitter's biggest problems is that figuring out what to do with it is not very intuitive. You have to do a bit of research and trial and error to really find a valuable use. But, once you get over the learning curve, it's very useful. With that said, I realize that it's definitely not for everyone. That's cool. Those of us that use it will like the integration. Those that don't use it will hopefully not find the integration to obtrusive.
