Social Networking Features in ubuntu 10.04
Social Networking Features
Desktop social networking support is implemented through integration with Gwibber, an open source microblogging client that supports nine services, including Twitter, Facebook, Digg, Flickr, and FriendFeed. The Gwibber technology appears to users through a new MeMenu added to the operating system user interface.
The OS ships with Firefox 3.6, but changes the default search engine from Google to Yahoo, as part of a revenue sharing arrangement between Canonical and Yahoo. Also included is the OpenOffice 3.2 open source productivity suite.
Canonical warns that the beta should not be installed on production systems. A full list of features and known bugs is available here.
Lucid Lynx's desktop version also integrates Canonical's Ubuntu One (U1) music store, now in limited beta test. The store will allow users to purchase music through Rhythmbox, the default music player for the operating system.

Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx
"Lucid Lynx" is the code name for Ubuntu 10.04, scheduled for release on 29 April 2010.
One of the first things any user will notice in the pic above, whether new to Ubuntu or a veteran Linux user, is the button layout. Ubuntu 10.04, also known as "Lucid Lynx," has opted for a left-side, Mac-style lineup of maximize/restore, minimize, and close buttons, but switched around the order, so that the close/kill button is the right-most button on a left-hand button panel. That is certainly new, and will take some getting used to.
As predicted, Ubuntu 10.04 will have a built-in music store that ties together with the free 2 GB of Ubuntu One cloud storage given to each user. Ubuntu One's music store is built into the Rhythmbox music player, and once you try to access it, Ubuntu will install the proper MP3 codecs so you can, you know, play MP3s.
