People
The People app is your address book and your social app
all in one. When you connect your accounts, like
Facebook and Twitter, you’ll get all the latest updates,
Tweets, and pictures in one place. You can write on
someone's Facebook wall, comment on an update, or
retweet a Tweet without switching to another app.
To find out how to add your accounts, see People: Add
accounts in this guide.
For info on editing contacts and creating groups, see
Contact list management on Windows.com.
