I've asked, as have others. Android devs get it. iPhone gets it. Blackberry gets it. Why can't Maemo/MeeGo??

Tunnel vision has stymied N900 development more than anything. I wished I knew how to code. Most everyone else is too busy for anything not used in "Silly" Cone Valley.

What if the developers don;t have MySpace, Tumblr, or Hi5 accounts?

What if nobody but 1% of users can about MySpace, Tumblr and Hi5? You want developers to spend their time on a project that will get no feedback, no publicity and be just about useless to the platform?

Could you raise a bug report with specific steps to reproduce (if you think it's related to names being set); and specific Twitter accounts which are problematic. So; for example is it one of:
  1. Contact has no first and last name, Twitter user does, nickname matches Twitter ID but photo & Twitter URL are not updated.
    In so, does the Twitter account show up in the manual matching dialogue?
  2. Contact has first & last names, Twitter user does not; no automatic matching possible but Twitter account doesn't show up in the manual matching dialogue.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure what this has to do with Hermes, as - as I've said - one of the reasons for the large gap between the last release and this one was a large scale refactoring to make it easier to add new services. LinkedIn and Gravatar have already been added. Plaxo will be next.

Nearly a year from release, and nothing but multiple FB and Twitter clients, yet no MySpace, Tumblr, or Hi5 support.
As sjgadsby points out, only one of those - MySpace - has an enhancement request raised for it against Hermes.

It sounds like you think I'm wasting your time, by not doing what you want and that a) I can't see the obvious, b) I'm silly and c) I'm holding back the success of the N900. Thanks for that. I'll be sure to prioritise your feature requests now that I see the error of my ways ;-p

Bug committed. Included as much info as I could, but I can't narrow down what the actual discrepancy for not showing the in the manual selection list.

I think it would be a great idea if you when you update you have an option of not changing that persons picture with a click of the "refresh" button. Right now a lot of people are changing their Facebook main pictures to those of sports figures and such.

There is also a enhancement request for adding Xing support - https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8099

Click "Retrieve" and nothing changes; only new stuff gets added. Having the option of "pin this picture" might be an idea off the "matched contacts" dialogue.
