One thing I noticed that there is definitely a lack of 'good' social apps in the marketplace. The MSN Messenger by Miyowa lacks a LOT!
The default MSN messenger in Messaging tab is good, but lacks even basic features of course.
I wanted to know if there was any social app out there, or maybe even a hack/trick that brings the "Contact Alert" feature?
For example, when Contact A comes online, phone vibrates/rings to notify user of specific user coming online.
Anyone?

Does the Twitter page I'm seeing in some of the ROMs use SMS/MMS? I don't have messaging activated, and am looking for a good twitter app. I'm still running the stock AT&T ROM and saw that it's built into NRG's ROMs. Though, I'd like to avoid ringing up a massive bill. Currently, I'm just going to Twitter's mobile website, but would like something better.
Thanks.
was in a similar position.
Though the majority of the twitter apps were ****e and then came along Touchtwit which can be purchased from the marketplace.
It's easily the best twitter app and rivals tweetdeck for the iFail.
A really nice UI, loads of functionality and even had sound alerts, shorten links, images, video etc,

Yeah, but does it go through messaging where each tweet sent and received is going to count as a text message? That is what I want to avoid.
No, it uses your data connection. Hands down the best Windows Mobile twitter software around. Just one bug in choosing existing media (pictures and videos) to upload. But it's a known issue that is fixed in the next release. Buy it! You WILL NOT be disappointed!
Hey all,
I watched all the videos/read all the reviews, and I couldn't find my answer.
We know that the "What's new" feed in both People and Pictures aggregates facebook stuff, but what about Facebook Inbox? What about notifications?
Could some one enligthen me?
Thanks!
Id say therell be a Facebook app for that
I like the inbox idea. That would be useful. But the rumour was that FB was developing 'Project Titan' a mail app to become more email like, so perhaps integration would come when FB updates this.
As an aside, I know MS has a 5% stake in FB, but too much integration might be too much if another Social Network becomes popular quickly (akin to FB killing My Space).
Somehow I don't see that happening, Facebook is here to stay,Myspace was too late to change the game when FB came along. FB is now akin to Google in the sense its here to stay or at least imo.
or maybe FB will be integrate directly in WM7...

??? It is integrated into WP7 however not all of the Facebook features fit into the WP7 model. For those things, you'll have to jump into a facebook app. Maybe they'll be able to integrate with the various hubs (namely people) so that you could, for example, hit a button to send a FB message to someone and it would open the facebook app directly to do that?

Actually, I can see the FB inbox happening (has another tile with, kinda like Gmail, Outlook and WL Mail). As for notifications, they could drop from the top, like for Messaging...
What about Facebook friends requests ? I don't know how it would fit into WP7 model, i guess the FB app will be needed at some point
To have all the options of FB you'd have to use app anyway..
That's why I hate all those default integrations.
What I'm hoping to accomplish is getting an ALL-IN-ONE messaging client.
I can find tons like Palringo/Nimbuzz/IM+ that combine most of the important forms of instant messaging, and even ran across a few that try to mesh instant messaging with a proprietary SMS service (which fails because it revolves around a separate number).
...but there's something completely valuable that I cannot find; one app that can handle Facebook IM, GTalk IM, YIM, AIM... while integrating SMS into the same list.
i find google talk to be really crapy, even facebook messenger has more options like sending photos, etc. is there a alternative to google talk app that allows us to use photos?
Google+ Messenger
i use whatsapp with my usa and international friends. i send photo, music and chat with that app.

Kik Messenger is really nice. Shows read and delivered tags also like BBM.
Heavy whatsapp user here.

LINE and KIK messenger
google talk is the CRAPPIEST. I don't know why they don't upgrade that piece of crap to more features like pic and voice messaging -___-
Try LINE messenger. I have been using it for a while. Features include:
-picture messaging
-video messaging
-create groups
-send location
-FREE phone calls to line messenger users
-timelines
-username instead of pin
-custom user ID qr code
-cool stickers
-on all platforms (android/iphone/blackberry/windows)
-lots of other cool customizations

I also use kik messenger, only because it keeps it simple, and saying "kik me" just clicks better. Features include
-picture messaging
-video messaging (with free add on)
-username instead of pin
-group messaging (but you cannot create custom groups)
-on all platforms (android/iphone/blackberry/windows)
-other plugin features such as (sketchy, contact ****r, file****r, ect)

The only issue I have with kik is that ANYONE can message you without having first requested to do so (HUGE privacy flaw) and there are alot of perverted people on it. The perversion wouldn't be a problem if they weren't able to send you messages and pics without having to send a request first.
So far I've been using line the most because of kik's privacy flaw, but I still use kik every now and then with friends who have kik. But line is more customizable. Also, kik looks the most like bbm.
Let me know which you like better
Hope I've helped.:cyclops:

Hello fellow s3 owners! I was wondering if one of you fine lads could recommend me a messaging application that supports both SMS and Facebook messages.
The new Facebook messenger no longer integrates SMS so I'm looking for something new. We don't get cell service in our house so I use Facebook to message my girlfriend and would prefer to not have two separate messaging apps.
I've looked at ebuddy but the ratings aren't too great and the interface isn't that nice either.
If there aren't any good ones would you guys recommend a messaging app available for both android and ios that uses wifi ie. Whatsapp?
