Show your online friends' status updates in the contact cards


When you add an account for a social networking service, you can allow the automatic linking of your online friends' profiles from the services to the friends' entries in your contacts list. After linking, you can set your most important contacts as favourites, and you'll see their latest status update in Contacts. You can also see the contact details and latest status updates in the individual contact cards.
