It should, after some seconds (less than 10) open up a map in your location. Something seems to be wrong in your device. You might want to try opening it in terminal to see if there's some error output.

Contacts... having to set up a MfE account, then syncing that way was just plain odd. Once I had done so, got my contacts, they're mashed up with my Skype buddies, GTalk buddies and honestly I liked how Android handled that - show only contacts that have phone numbers. There has to be a better way to handle this - I have too many contacts!
If you're using the Phone application, it will only show contacts that can be called. Although there too it will show also contacts that can be called via GTalk and Skype. I guess it would be nice if the phone application header was clickable like in some other apps, and you could choose to filter the listing like you wished.

Twitter - there's no way to go from photo to Twitter? I have to e-mail it to myself, or share it on Flickr, then link to it? I've read plenty of people saying that this isn't a feature yet, but there has to be a better way.
Photo sharing to Twitter coming in an update.

Google+... tell me there's a plan or app that integrates as nicely as Twitter and AP news. Also, same thing for GoogleVoice. QGVDial is "okay" but it is not what I'm looking for at all.
Does Google+ even have a public API yet? In any case I'm pretty sure that will be up to 3rd party developers if it's going to come. Let's call it an opportunity for some aspiring developer .

AccuWeather... any way to make this always know where I'm at?
In a newer version of AccuWeather there is in the Location dialog "Use current Location". Don't know if it updates itself automatically or if you have to manually choose it each time you change place.

Also, how do I delete somewhere? It's nice to know what the temp is in Helsinki, but I'm halfway around the globe.
Edit "/home/user/.config/AccuWeather, Inc./awxapp.conf"

IM integration - am I missing this somewhere? I know I have Skype, Gtalk - which, I've been trying to get everybody on anyway - but there's a few people that still use AIM or MSN... even Yahoo.

On second thought, good riddance.
Good riddance is what I'd suggest also. However, if you're feeling adventurous, you could use a Jabber/XMPP gateway to those services. There is no UI for XMPP account, but you can add XMPP account using "mc-tool" from command-line.
