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").

** 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.
