View Your Contacts’ Activities

After you have connected your Microsoft account to one or more social network accounts, you can use the People app to view contact activities such as Facebook posts and photos and Twitter updates.

One of Microsoft’s goals when designing the Windows 8 Start screen was to give you a single place that shows you what is happening in your life. The People app can show you the latest messages from your social networks. You can view messages for all contacts or just a single contact.
