Your social networking account

You can set up a social network account that
integrates and syncs all your contacts, emails, and
social networking sites, and serves them up just the
way you want them. No opening and closing apps and
menus. You can interact by touching widgets on your
home screen. The Social Networking and Social
Status widgets are your windows into the social
networking sites and other accounts you entered into
your social status.

Add accounts

You can add your Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, or
other accounts to your social networking account. If
you don’t have accounts on these sites, visit their Web
sites to set them up.
For email accounts, see “Set up messaging” on
page32.
Find it: Launcher icon > My Accounts >Add
account
Add an account by touching it. Then enter your user
name and password for that account.
When you sign into social networking accounts, you’ll
see your friends and contacts in your Con tacts list,
and your status and updates can appear in your Social
Networking widget.
Twitter and MySpace messages will always appear
as “read” on your phone, but your phone notifies you
when you receive a new message. MySpace marks
your messages as “read” online.
Tip: To download updates faster, use “Wi-Fi™” on
page45.
