Okay, I understand. Onward to Luna! :-)

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

What do you guys think of providing a Fogger app for Facebook out of the box in 
Luna? For those who don't know what I'm talking about, refer to this article:

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/07/fogger-can-turn-facebook-into-an-integrated-desktop-app-on-ubuntu

I've used it, and it works rather well, actually. The killer feature for me 
would be the desktop notifications and the badges (which work fine with Plank). 
But that's not the reason I'm suggesting this.

IMHO including Facebook as a first-class app (in that Plank and Slingshot 
handle it as one) would be a very good idea because let's face it, regardless 
of your personal opinion about Facebook, the target audience of elementary will 
use Facebook, and it will be pretty important to the user. 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.

And of course a handy one-click access to Facebook with desktop notifications 
is good in it's own right :) 

Thoughts?
