[Bug 1535755] Re: Show contact details from social accounts
With an API approach it should be possible to build a telephony app that handles contacts in a uniform manner. By this it could be possible to maintain the telephone contacts and social contacts as separate data sources, yet still allowing a unified user experience in a single app (e.g. search for a contact -> get the results presented in a collected/combined fashion). See the concept in bug 1627747 ("generic API for communication and data exchange"). ** Tags added: accounts api contacts social ** Description changed: As a phone user I want to easily look up contacts that I have either in my address book, or on a Social Account (LinkedIn, Xing, Facebook, etc.) So that I don't have to add/merge all contacts to/with my address book that I want to find And the number of pure phone address book contacts stays small (only the essential contacts) And I don't have to do time-consuming research for contacts and their details. Details - -- + === Phone address books usually show only contacts you have stored on your phone or a cloud account (like Google Mail or the like). It would make a lot of a difference if Ubuntu's address book could integrate seamlessly with Social Accounts, and pull contact details from there without necessarily adding them or merging them with the phone contacts. Motivation: I don't want a million contacts in my personal address book, but sometimes I want to get in touch with or look up contacts that I have on LinkedIn, Xing, Facebook, etc. A convenient, quick lookup would be awesome.
