Add your Twitter account on People Hub.
Create a group in the contact hub and call it "Twitter"
Put in this group all your twitter contact.
Pin this group on your start screen.
Enjoy the push notifications: tweet appears on tile when a new one comes
Also, when you click on your twitter group, in "what's new", all new tweet appears as the official twitter application.
I never realised this! Thank you muchly
How do you add all your twitter contacts?
Hi trax26
How do you get all your twitter contacts in the group? I have 92 contacts but the group only takes 20.
Cheers

Only 20 contacts per group
Just an idea, but wouldn't it even be possible to create one single windows live contact and link all twitter contacts to that particular one and pin this to the home screen? There'd be no 20 people per group issue at all.
What about a live tile that updates only using search.twitter.com? It would be neat to have a tile showing trending, in real time, across the world.

I like that everything is synced up to gmail. But I dislike the lack of options as far as how to organize the contacts.
I basically have 3 groups of contacts: Friends/family, business and food.
By default when i open the list of contacts, i'd just like the friends/family group to be displayed. I'm kind of surprised that i can just swipe left or right to switch between groups. Failing that, can i just set one group as the default group to display? I've poked around in the settings and so far haven't found anything like that.
Htc sense does that by default and very good too. Create a group for the contact groups such as all contacts. In the contact edit page page specify the group for that contact such as "all contacts". In the sense people widget select the contact group you want displayed in that widget and all contacts belonging to that group will only be displayed. Enjoy.
Is there any way to do that when i go into the main contacts app itself? i.e. when i click on the 'people' button. Can i have that screen default to a certain group?

Not when you click on the people app but definitely when using the people widget.
ok. Guess i'll just stick two widgets on a screen then for the two groups i use the most.
thanks

That's what I do.
Gmail automatically adds contacts you've emailed into your contact list, they belong to "All Contacts" group.
Manually added contacts belong to "My Contacts" group.
But I couldn't get the phone to display *only* "My Contacts". (Contacts -> Hide/Show -> Google...)
Tried Googling the issue, solutions available but don't seem to work on Defy/Motorola.
Any idea?
Thx in advance.
Anyone...?
I have the same problem, which I posted to the Motorola Owners forums as well, only I don't just want to not display those contacts, but prevent then from syncing as well. I can't yet post working links:
supportforums.motorola.com/thread/47333?tstart=0
After syncing my new Defy with my Google account, I've found all the contacts in the phone - not just the meaningful ones from My Contacts that have phone numbers and names - but every last single email address has created a separate contact in the phone.
My question is this: how can I limit the synced contacts to a group, like My Contacts in GMail?

So far, I have not found a way to limit the display or the syncing of these contacts.
There are 2 apps for contacts, the one that is embedded in the dialer (the one that SUCKS), and the other is a stand alone Contacts which allows yo Manage groups in a certain way. I'd like to have good one embedded in the Dialer next to Recent and Favorites.. but im no dev. An certainly is annoying having to switch between them.

Hi
Can't get my email to appear in the messages widget on motorola defy (only had this phone for a week). Only get a notfication image of new mail in the status bar. Is the messages widget only for texts?? or should you be able to read your new mail via the widget?
Thanks

Do you use Gmail app from Google? You have to add your e-mail account to Motoblur. Also disable original Gmail sync or you'll get notifications twice I think.
[edit] That's if you use a ROM with Motoblur, I don't know if there's e-mail support in deblur ROMs.
Hi
I thought I had added it, my google account appears in the accounts as " other account" below the motorblur account with all the twitter, facebook etc.
Have I got it in the right place?
( you can tell this is my first smartphone )
Do you have Accounts or other apps from Motoblur like Social Networking? Stock Motorola software is different for various regions and might come with or without social features called as Motoblur. If you don't have it then Messages widget works with regular text messages only, I think.
No I don't have accounts for any of those social networks like twitter etc.
So I suppose I am stuck? And won't be able to have the e-mail displayed within the widget?
Thank you very much for your replies and help though.
I've figured it out and now get email in the messages widget. I hadn't realized there are TWO seperate accounts one for G-mail and one for E-mail. It's quite confusing for a smartphone virgin, but what a cool toy
Hey,
Got a question....when I am in my contacts and groups I see at the top it says:
Not Assigned (22) then under that it reads:
Integrated groups and under that are my groups
Starred In Android
Co-Workers
Family
Friends
My contacts
No in Gmail contacts the only groups I have are starred in Android and My Contacts.
How do I remove Co-workers, family and friends
How do I remove the Integrated groups, I ONLY want Gmail contacts.
I did turn off all the other contacts from Skype, FB, etc....
Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.
Ciao~
Ok, I deleted SKYPE and that removed the not assigned contacts.....getting closer...
did you find a solution?,i dont want the standard groups as i want to make my own ones instead, i dont see why we must have stock ones when we can create groups
If you add contacts into a group (says Favorite), those newly added contacts will be put at the end of the group, regardless of the contact name. How can we have it alphabetically sort the contact?
I know that Sense 4 allows to custom sort the contact in group, but why don't they alphabetically sorted by default (like any other phones)? It's kinda annoying if you add new contact to group and have to see where it should go.
