Yeah, I was thinking of adding Twitter support to Sociality, still debating that (while looking at Twitter's API)

I'm gonna be honest, I'm rocking QNeptunea, and it's a great Twitter Client.

That being said, if you could provide twitter support as well, it would be awesome.

And can we be crazy enough to expect some Google+ support?

As far as I'm aware, the API for G+ is very limited, it's only for viewing, can't post or anything, since I believe they want to keep their client on Android.

However, if you could take a look through it, you might find other things that are useful, and perhaps, G+ Hangout integration. That would be amazing.

Personally I reckon you should focus on creating a truly awesome FB client.
There's already way more Maemo 6x Twitter clients than there are FB ones.
There's that good S^3 client (name escapes me) that does multiple social networks.
But it's Twitter utility/usability is now falling behind some of the best Twitter clients.
You spread yourself thinly & you run the risk of not being very good, just mediocre at more things.

Maybe longer-term you could integrate some sort of compatibly with Diaspora?
It's much more like FB than Twitter, just a more "FOSS friendly" version...
Google+ client may be a good idea too, but IMO the hard focus must remain on FB.
Unless you feel you can branch out & still maintain very good utility/usability for everything.

I agree on all your points APART from the Disapora.

I think if MAG should integrate more social networks, it should be Twitter/Facebook/Google+ as they are the main ones instead of putting effort onto a social network that isn't widely used or even heard of by majority of our mates :P

AFAIK the g+ API also has a very small number of hits allowed per API KEY, unless money is paid... Essentially making it unrealistic for free software to use.

Hi @MohammadAG and everyone,

I know it's a bit late, but wanted to add my voice to the "interested" party.

I just getting to know my way around now, and will add to the feedbacks.

Also to add my voice on other social integration, I actually would like to have G+ added, but hearing how Google themselves are making it extremely restrictive to +1 without an Android or an iPhone, my vote will go to making this app THE APP for FB on Maemo/Harmattan ;-)

Thanks for the app and keep it up!

Yeah I did stress that maybe it'd come later, & at a lower priority.
It's much more akin to FB than Twitter, & there's already great Twitter clients progressing strongly.
And given some of the annoying aspects of G+ already posted, & the fact that it's still pretty tiny.
All that combines to make Diaspora a little more appealing longer-term.
But maybe it's best that there's a separate/dedicated client for it.
