Back in July, we discussed an app called Savi People that provided a very powerful unified communication experience by integrating your iOS device’s contacts with friends on Facebook, followers on Instagram and Twitter, and connections on LinkedIn. It has been updated to version 1.3 now which includes an important group-messaging feature, and the developers have also released a free, limited version alongside as part of the update. Check it all out after the jump.
Social network usage has rised exponentially over the past few years. Most of us actively use 2-3 social networks every day - Facebook, Twitter, Instagram for example. It is, then, a little strange that iOS' Contacts app hasn't evolved much, if at all since 2007. Contacts apps on Android and Windows Phone 7 are particularly powerful when you compare them with Apple's offering. Contacts on WP7 are deeply integrated with Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. You can open up a contact in the app and see all their latest updates and uploaded personal information, contact them via these networks without ever having to launch dedicated apps. Now, you can enjoy the same level of integration on iOS, albeit in the form of a third-party app. Check it out after the jump.
