Hey There,

Sorry about the super rude response!

Unfortunately it doesn't line up with our plans to include a Facebook app by default and we are indeed past our feature freeze for including this extra functionality.

But I think most of us probably use a range of online services from Google to Facebook or Twitter. So I believe in the future we will be doing some work on integrating web services a little better.

Hope that answers your question.

Best Regards,
Daniel Foré

When booting Luna for the first time, seeing the Facebook logo on the dock will give the user a feeling of familiarity and an impression of immediate usefulness. The main point here is that we should use the recognizable logo to our advantage to make the user feel that this platform will suit their needs.
