I couldn't care less about Twitter integration, but I do want Facebook integration.

That would be nice. Social media integration is one of the big reasons I've been looking into switching to WP7

Personally I think deep social integration is a bad move and waste of resources. There are enough apps out there that make social interaction easy and with the social landscape changing so quickly, why deeply integrate directly into the OS? Twitter and Facebook could be old news two years from now and there could be a new hot thing.

Actually, you never know. Trending is already down for Facebook use amongst those under 35. They all may have an account, but the usage is very sporadic compared to the previous years.

Anecdotal information doesn't really give a good picture until you look at the actual data.

The point is, why should Apple waste time deeply integrating services that in constant flux?

True...true. Maybe they could put a switch in the settings that you could pick which site you want to send media to??

I think the notion of social media integration in general is definitely a great step forward. Apple and other companies simply need to set the framework for such integration as opposed to focusing on just a handful of services. This way, social media sites can use that framework to integrate their services into the devices. Since the framework won't be tied to any single service, this integration will be very dynamic and evolve with the fast pace of the Internet. One day you'll have deep Facebook integration, next month you'll have whatever the next big thing is, simply by installing and uninstalling apps or by flipping some settings. Also, this way the more obscure services will have the opportunity to see integration instead of just the big name, Apple/Google/Microsoft approved services.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
