Social networking
my life, your life
Your MOTOBLUR account
The first time you turned on your phone, you
registered for a MOTOBLUR account that manages
your messages, contacts, and more (“Set up & go” on
page 4). You can log into this account from a computer
to upload contacts, reset your password, get help, or
even locate your phone:
www.motorola.com/mymotoblur
What is MOTOBLUR?
Only MOTOBLUR syncs contacts, posts,
feeds, messages, emails, photos and
much more—from sources like Facebook™, Twitter,
MySpace, your work email, Picasa™, and
Photobucket™—and serves them up just the way you
want them. No opening and closing apps and menus,
it’s all front and center on your home screen and
throughout the entire phone, so you can communicate
anyway you like.
Add account
Note: You can add your Facebook, MySpace, Twitter,
or other accounts to your phone. If you don’t have
accounts, you can visit their Web sites to set them up.
13Social networking
Find it: > Accounts > Add account
To sign into your account, use the user name or email
and password that you set up on that account (the
same as on your computer).
When you sign into social networking accounts, you’ll
see your friends and contacts in your Contacts list,
and your status and updates can appear in Social Status and Happenings widgets.
Twitter and MySpace messages will always appear
as “read” on your phone, but your phone notifies you
when you receive a new message. MySpace marks
your messages as “read” online.
For email accounts, see “Set up messaging” on
page 23.
Tip: To download updates faster, see “Connect Wi-Fi
networks” on page 41.
Update your status
After you add a social networking account, you can
update and see your current status in a Social Status
widget on your home screen.
To update your status, just touch your Social Status
widget and enter text. If you have more than one
account, you can use the pull-down menu to limit
which accounts are updated. When you open the
14Social networking
widget, a number on the right side means you have
unread status comments (touch it to open them).
To a d d a Social Status widget:
1 Flick your home screen left or right to open the
panel you want. Touch and hold an empty spot to
open the Add to Home screen menu.
2 Touch Motorola widgets > Social Status. The
widget appears in the empty spot, and will show
your status the next time your phone updates from
the network.
View account updates & features
After you add a social networking account, you can see
and respond to friends’ updates with the Happenings
widget on your home screen. If you don’t see one, set
one up in “Widgets” on page 10.
When you touch the Happenings widget to open an
update, you can touch to open the full update, then
touch the social network’s icon to open its Web site.
Note: Your network or other factors might affect the
speed of widget updates.
