Now, Google Glass gets Facebook, Twitter apps

BANGALORE, INDIA: At the ongoing sixth annual Google developers conference, I/O, in San Francisco, it is learnt that Facebook and Twitter have launched applications for Google glasses.

"Built by Facebook, this app allows you to upload photos from Google Glass directly to your Facebook timeline," Erick Tseng, head of mobile products at the social network, was said to have posted a message at the conference.

"You can also add an optional photo description, just by speaking (to) it."

Apparently, Tseng's Facebook page displayed an image evidently taken in a packed Glass session at the gathering and was tagged as the first public post to the social network using the application built for the eyewear. "Can't wait to start seeing Google Glass photos in my News Feed!" Tseng said.

The Twitter application for Google Glass, according to reports that quoted engineering manager, Shiv Ramamurthi, would let people share pictures or text messages using the glasses.
