Ugh, I'm really opposed, as an OSX and iOS user, to Apple having this direct of a tie to any social networking company. It would be awful if they avoided adding more sharing options and OS integration for 3rd-party applications like Facebook because they could be a competitor to Twitter or any other investment. I'd rather they stay as relatively neutral as they can.


I'm opposed too, but for a different reason. I'm opposed to any sort of social network integration into my OS.


Does it matter, if you are not forced to use it?


I'm not forced to use the Facebook app on my smartphone but it sure pisses me off that I can't remove it without rooting it.


Vote with your money.


I'm not sure. I think to myself I'd rather have the development time spent elsewhere in the operating system, but whether it'd make an actual difference in reality is a guessing game.
