Most of those websites have APIs for other applications to interact with, and Kontact can act as a front end and personal cloud for those sites. This should unify most of the computing needs and make KDE a true portal to the world. Well, I am lost.

I for one could really use this. Proudly dual-booting openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 4.3 and Windows Vista on a Toshiba A205-S4577 since July 2007.

See here: brainstorm.php#idea87355 Otherwise, yeah, I think stuff like status updates should/could be in KDEPIM, especially the likes of linking Facebook/Twitter contacts with address-book contacts.

Moult Global Moderator Posts 663 Karma 2 OS	KPIM should have ability to handle social networking site Sun May 30, 2010 9:05 am Say, is there a Gwibber-alike for KDE? (Not just twitter, so don't mention choqok) Moult, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Oct. thinkMoult - source for tech, art, and animation: hilarity and interest ensured!

I think Facebook's too complicated, with stuff like embedded images and direct comment replies, to be implemented in its simple timeline interface effectively. :/ Madman, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Oct.
Gallaecio KDE Developer Posts 116 Karma 0 OS	KPIM should have ability to handle social networking site Thu Jun 10, 2010 2:42 pm This seems interesting. Maybe separated plugins as it was already suggested. Those could generate service-specific Akonadi resources (one for Identi.ca, one for Facebook...) with information such as user data (name, mail, user photo, etc.). I like it.
mukhtarz Registered Member Posts 1 Karma 0 OS	KPIM should have ability to handle social networking site Thu Jun 17, 2010 9:17 pm This is a great idea, and necessary as the web is becoming more social. For example, adding a (share in twitter) button in Akregator would make it easy for users to share interesting feeds/articles with others via twitter. I would contribute and create such thing if I had the knowledge and resources to do so, but unfortunately I don't. So I hope that someone would take the lead.
