like a contact's birthday, the company the person works for, and the person's picture, is pulled from social networking
accounts that you added to your device, like Twitter or LinkedIn. Other info can be added by you. There are three tabs, or
views, that you can tap through.
Details
This view shows you an overview of contacts' details: how to contact them, where they work, their birthdays, and
other important information about them. You can tap on phone numbers or email addresses to start connecting
