Free Web Application Gist that lets you import and manage their contacts on services like Google’s Gmail, Salesforce and Microsoft Outlook has taken another step forward with Facebook. The application will be using Facebook Connect to integrate itself with the social network. With this new integration users will enable users to have access to their activity on the Social Network.
Before I go any further, I am just surprised why it would continue to charge users for doing so? I mean there are already services at large like Xobni and the more recent Microsoft Outlook Social connector that provide the same without charges. The application would enable you to easily access your Facebook stream using the Web based application as well as its iPhone app or the Outlook plugin. The good point here is the filter feature, meaning that you can view content only from those contacts you want to. It just appears that almost everyone out there is grabbing the social network by the horns in a bid to leverage its ever growing popularity.
That isn’t too bad, I mean almost everyone wants a way to ease accessibility to the social network. And while Gist does link itself at the right time with the right thing, it seriously needs to cut our the price factor for its usage. Why would anyone pay to use Gist to access Facebook content when they can do so for free elsewhere?
You can download the Outlook plugin here and the iPhone app here.
