Who knows what's actually happening. This doesn't benefit anybody.

"Facebook is free to use the Android contacts API to truly integrate contacts on the device, which would allow users to have more control over their data.”

Translation: Facebook, stop whining and let the users have what they want. Oh, and fix that steaming pile you call an app. Seriously, where the F@%# are my push notifications?

Agreed. I don't even have the app installed since it's so useless. It's pretty bad when a social app for BlackBerry is superior to a social app for Android.

I tried using the built in contacts integration, but ended up with duplicate and triplicate entries. Facebook on my phone went buh-buy.

Facebook for Android definitely needs a lot of work still. One of the few apps from my BlackBerry that I miss was the Facebook app. Mostly it's notifications.

Yeah the facebook app for android sucks (to say the least). For the love (insert your adjective here) I could not get the notifications to work. The good thing is that I use Tweetdeck.

As for the topic of the thread, I don't really think google and facebook are fighting each other. I think the move by google is just a nice way of telling facebook to get thier s*** together.
