RichContacts 1.5 twitter integration

RichContacts 1.5 twitter integration

As you probably know by now, one of the top new set of features of iOS5 is Twitter deep integration right inside the OS. One of those features is the apparition of a “Twitter” field inside the iPhone addressbook.

RichContacts 1.5 already leverages that feature by automatically displaying the last tweet of a contact whenever that field is set up. If the tweet contains a URL, just click on it to be directed to that link.

Tip: To populate this field automatically, go to the Settings App:

Twitter > “Update Contacts”

Download RichContacts 1.5 from the App Store

RichContacts bulk syncing screenshotRichContacts 1.4 introduced a new way to sync your phone contacts with your Facebook contacts. You no longer need to go through each of your contacts to sync them. Upon the first launch of the app (or whenever you want from the Settings menu), you can sync all of your contacts at once. Contacts that have the exact same name across Facebook and your address book will be matched automatically, for the others, you will be presented with your Facebook contacts that are more likely to be the person you are trying to match. Try it now!

    A quick overview of RichContacts for iPhone

    Posted on June 13, 2011 by martin

    RichContacts for iPhone aims to replace Apple Contacts app. It is essentially the same but with rich information about your contacts that has been retrieved from your social networks (facebook only at the moment)

    This is the main screen: it’s essentially the same as Apple’s but with pictures of your contacts (retina display friendly)

    This is the contact “Info” view: notice the social button at the top?

    It brings you to the social tab:

    The social tab features your contact last status on facebook, his birthday, the last facebook event your were at together, the next facebook events you may meet him at, the school he went to and the company he worked at.
    It also features two links: one brings you inside the app to a Google search of your contact full name.
    The other brings you to your contact facebook profile (either inside the app, or in facebook app, as you wish)

    You can download RichContacts from the appstore
