Re: Addressing the lack of Trademark License for YouTube, Twitter and Facebook Core Apps

 

> Facebook, why not convert Gwibber to be the FB client.
 
Because the Gwibber and Facebook apps both already exist. You can't
just say "oh, use Gwibber", people are going to want a Facebook app
because that's what they've been trained to want by every other phone
on the market.

I would like to put across a different view point, show the masses something which is even better than the default app, and they will migrate before you know it.
If they need facebook app , let facebook work on it... For all Ubuntu Desktop Users everyone seems to be comfortable with Gwibber ( I am not promoting Gwibber nor restricting the scope to Gwibber also ) but only suggesting why not enhance, reduce time complexity of app and fine tune it and enhance the UI of what is already present. Inturn who knows destop version might also get a overhaul.
