This is true. I disagree with the OP's post because it isn't possible for any OS to just happen to know what other apps do and how it benefits them. No smaller app will have support, unless the main app knows of it's existence and purpose. Even then, they would probably not bother hooking into all those small apps and waste their time when they should be focusing on bigger apps like facebook. The editorial is a great idea, although a bit dramatic. New security would be the first step to this idea though, as you don't want some jerk app that you randomly downloaded posting personal pictures everywhere just because it can.
Okay guys, sorry for any confusion is the original article. I've updated it (and soon the title) to better reflect what I'm getting at.
iOS applications are dumb would is the better title. The problem is in the developers, not Apple itself. As I stated in _JKK_'s thread, the "Open In" menu is able to be easily implemented to allow apps to send files to each other (so long as the other app supports the file). Social networking is not a file (which is something that _JKK_ brought up). Problems arise here since posting to a social network has to be coded in, or it won't work (it'll simply act as a shortcut to the app).
Could you add a second parenthesis in that second to last sentence? You've triggered a horrible pet peeve in me.
Who is this thread is directed towards? Who called iOS apps "dumb?" Was it the guy on the street, me, YOU? Who?! Also, who's Bob? Is this Bobby as in Bgizzle?
Bob was a fictitious name I made up. The thread is not directed towards anyone; the title reflects a mere observation I made.
Thing is, the application can have arguments (just like a console application) and you just trigger --new-post-message=[message]. Not perfect, but it's just an example of how the application can be launched with arguments to make a new post and the content can be carried forward. If there is to be native iOS integration, it's up to Apple, otherwise it's down to the devs.
