I'd like to see a dashboard/homescreen app for OS2008 that allows you to update your Facebook status, Twitter status, Jaiku status, etc. I think it's possible, and I'm envisioning something like the search box that already exists. Instead of launching a browser though, it should just update the status(es). When it starts up it should pull the current status and display it in the box. (It could either poll automatically or offer a refresh button after that.) It could either post the same text to all the services, or allow you to select a target, as the search box does.

I've avoided Jaiku simply because all my friends (we're in grad school) are using Facebook for status updates. I don't really use Twitter, either. But I think a single solution for all of them would be nice, and the tablet is perfect for this sort of status update. I don't want to load an app, either. It would be great to just have the status sitting on the home screen all the time, waiting for updates.

What do you guys think? Could someone take a shot at making this? :-)

Install Twitter app on Facebook.

I'm looking at writing a Twitter client. Nothing firm atm though, sorry. A couple of weeks time will hopefully have something working.
