So, you've copied an address book full of contacts to your new N900. Unfortunately, the lovely interface and gorgeous screen are completely let down by the fact that all you see are generic, blue men as you contacts' pictures. Contacting people via the Phone or Conversations just doesn't seem very slick.

-

With Hermes, you will enrich your Maemo 5 address book with photos, birthdates, homepage addresses, and more from online services such as Facebook and Twitter.

In Detail

-

Hermes will connect your Contacts app to your Facebook and Twitter accounts, matching existing Contacts entries to the ones on the social networking sites that are configured in the application settings. Hermes is smart and will deal intelligently with even the smallest name variations.

-

If a contact is matched between the Contacts app and an online identity, Hermes will update the contact on the device with a photo (from Facebook or Twitter), birthday (from Facebook), profile URLs (on Facebook and Twitter) and homepage (from Twitter). As an added bonus, all birthdates will also appear automatically in your Calendar.

-

There are two modes of operation, "Retrieve" and "Update." Retrieve will fill in missing data for a contact. Update will overwrite any contacts that have matches on the social networks (i.e., your Contacts entries will be reset to the information found online).

-

Hermes uses the official Facebook and Twitter APIs, designed and intended by these companies to allow third party applications such as Hermes.

- -
- - -
- - -

Hermes is currently under development. It can be installed from the Extras Testing repository.

-

Note: It is not yet suitable for end-users.
