Granted, this is not something mainstream would want. They're used to a monopolistic company that tells them what they need and should use.
I thing both yourself and the parent poster completly missed the point.

The fact that Skype was integrated into the N900 didnt mean that I had to enable the skype account at all if I choose not to. Its all plugins based. So if you didnt use Skye it wouldnt show as an ption on the man communication panel.

Same goes with FB and Twitter integration I bet. If I dont use FB, i would not enable that option and hence nothing to bug you all the time. Make your choise. And THEN there may be other 3rd part apps (standalone) which you may choose to install. THAT is choise.
Nokia (Meego) isnt saying you HVE to use the integrated options.
