For anyone using one of the Honeycomb ROMs, there is a really nice Facebook app called "Friend Me". Nice layout, solid build (though it is beta and has a couple of minor bus).
I've been using it a few weeks and it's great. Unfortunately, I haven't posted enough here to add an outside link, so if someone would be so kind...
Sure.... sharing this should help others... but I'm going one step ahead and sharing some more social apps for Honeycomb...
Honeycomb optimized Facebook apps:
Friend Me for Facebook by Locomo Labs
FriendCaster Tab for Facebook by OneLouder Apps
Honeycomb optimized Twitter apps:
TweetComb by Locomo Labs
TweetCaster (Twitter) HD Beta by OneLouder Apps
Plume for Twitter by LevelUp Studio
I have a problem with those apps and Andoid Illuminate for HC as I posted in the Illuminate thread:
Yeah I was right in my suspicions, it's because the Android build for the gtab has problems with hardware acceleration and the browser, I've attached a modified .apk which fixes the issue.

I'm using GTabComb 3.3 and it works fine on mine.
I tried FriendCaster but found it slower than Friend Me, but it's a nice app.
I also use TweetComb, but I'll have to try the others.

Honestly both Friendcaster and FriendMe suck. Yes the tablet UI layout is great, but functionally you're better off with the official Facebook app or just using the web, since both FriendME and Friendcaster are only good for VIEWING facebook content.
The minute you try to hit a "reply" button to actually communicate to your friends, it opens a web window with the facebook mobile site. Super lame.

I've tried a couple of different Twitter apps (the native Twitter, Inc. app and Tweetdeck) but none have installed. Has anyone found an app for Twitter that will install on the G? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Looks like Tweetcaster will install. Sorry. OP can delete.
I'm using TweetCaster, but sometimes I miss TweetDeck.

I have TweetDeck installed right now, I have not used it yet I just installed it but ill post screenshots soon.
I've been using Tweetdeck for a while, on TNTLite. No problems with it.
I just installed the twitter official app from twitter inc and it works just fine on my tab tnt 2.2
Hmm. Weird. I'll check their site.
I'm using Touiteur
Frankly I love it. Widget (in the pay version) and a really nice interface. Integrates with bit.ly for url compression twitpic etc.
I was able to get Tweetdeck, but only after flashing TnT Lite. I haven't used Touiteur in a year or so. Perhaps it's time to check it out again.
Twidroyd
I have been using Twidroyd. It works great, in fact the LiveView mode actually works better on the gtab than it does on the Droid X.
TweetDeck works on VEGAn.

So far none are to my liking or really made for tablet. Tweetdeck on VEGAn 5.1 is most feature rich but not best experience. Tweetcaster is best experience but lacks features.
Wish I had some l337 codding for android skills, damn career choices.
Looking for suggestions on a good Twitter app for Honeycomb.
Currently I'm using Plume and I like it a lot but it's not optimized and has it's share of things that prove that.
Wondering what others are using. I dont look at facebook on it so no need for tweetdeck or hootsuite really. Tried them both and meh.
Usually these apps are all over the place and I'm wondering if anyone has found one that is made for tablets yet.
Thanks in advance.
I actually think the official Twitter app works quiet well on the XOOM. The last few improvements they made in the recent update made it so much easier to use (even on my Droid, and I used to loathe using it on my phone before the update.)
I would love it if they updated the official app for HC so that it looked more like the 'New Twitter' on the desktop.
I like Plume myself. Great app and nice widget.

TweetDeck works quite well for me. It's not optimized but still works quite decently.
I came here tonight with the intenion of askmg the same question. I've been using Tweetdeck, but really want something optimized for tablets and/or Honeycomb...
Guess I'm not the only one.
My Xoom sent this...
I like twicca a lot. It's not optimized but you can make the font pretty large. Tons of customizing options

sad, but twitter seems to be attempting to stiffle the use of alternative apps for accessing the service.
i like plume, and have been in contact with dev about a honeycomb update, but i worry for the future of twitter apps as a a whole due to twitter's new attitude regarding them.
(i get that they need to monetize, whish there was a way they could do so without screwing 3rd party devs that made the twitter a lot of what it is today)
So what do you think is the best Twitter app? The official is really good but it lags insanely. That bothers me... If you guys got some good Twitter apps... Please share.

Does it get updated anymore?
I use Tweetdeck with Tweetdark theme.
Its a sweet look (very black with white text) and Tweetdeck combines feeds like facebook if you want.
Definitely recommend.

The official twitter app and Tweetcaster Pro. Haven't tried Plume but heard good things.
Tweetdeck is owned by Twitter now, right?
is there any third party twitter apps that support push notification like the official one? i can't find it.
Tried twitter, tweet caster, tweetdeck for sometime.. they are all cool.. but been using Plume for a few days and wow its just took good!!

Twitter Client
Seesmic for me, i have tried most of the Twitter client, for me seesmic suited the best.

Plume free here.
though am seriously considering paying for the adverts to go away.
and yes, I got an update the other day.
If seasmic allows dark theme, it will be the best, for now, plume.
Does the paid version of Plume let you set which region you want to see trends from? I'm using the free version at the moment and it seems to only have US trending topics (or world, maybe). I don't really want to pay for it if I can't set it to UK topics.
Hey guys,
I just install the CM9 rom and I need basic apps like facebook for tablets (that fit well on the screen).
because I downloaded the facebook app and what I see in the central wall is a status with little words and a huge pictures.
same question here, the facebook app is terrible for GT 2
Use friendcaster pro for facebook

thanks, I will try the free version, looks good
The Facebook app for Gtab 2 7 sucks. I wish Facebook would just release a version that is optimized for Tablets.. Until then I just use my broswer to view the desktop version for Facebook.
friendcaster is very very very good app for facebook
+1 for Flipboard! I don't generally like the idea of a "newsreader", but this one is awesome! It actually can be connected up to Facebook and Twitter, is very easy to set up, and does a really nice job of aggregating news stories and formatting them so they look really nice on the 7" screen.
The first thing I always install is SwiftKey 3, which is pretty much my favorite Android keyboard app. There's a free version available for trial. For the GT2 7.0 you'll want to use the Tablet version (which is what I linked to).
I DON'T DO IT. I ONLY SHARE IT.
FOR ME THIS IS THE BEST BROWSER...

Needs a bookmark sync to be the winner
If only this had a bookmark sync or some way to import from firefox/chrome. Other than that this is definitely my favourite browser!
agreed about the import of bookmarks, I have been trying to do it for a while, found the .db file that holds the info but no real fast way of doing it batch style. Also the link to the original thread is down, Emailed the app developer about this. I would be using this for my galaxy note 10.1, found this thread on the google machine, not much about this app but I like that it has flash support

tint browser, found it thanks, Still nothing about importing bookmarks from stock
Here's an add-on to import from Firefox =) it's in the market too under tint browser add-ons. Holo is based on tint and it's basically just an updated version of it.
Great browser, my default on N7
