Abstract
Fedora provides integrated social networking support for microblogging, IM (Instant Messenger), and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). To access broadcast services such as Twitter and Facebook, you can use the Gwibber application, which enables you to broadcast short messages across the Internet. Instant messenger (IM) clients allow users on the same IM system to communicate anywhere across the Internet. With VoIP applications, you can speak over Internet connections, talking as if on a phone. The GNOME Maps application displays maps for cities, as well as your current location.
