Integrating into Windows Phone Hubs

Among the many strengths of the Windows Phone platform is the extent of its integration into the rest of the .NET ecosystem developed by Microsoft, which remains one of its biggest advantages over competing phone platforms. The integrated experience comes in the form of hubs on the phone Start screen, which are essentially menu areas that collect data based on functions. The following hubs are available, and they are tightly integrated into the Windows Phone OS:

  • People hub: Integrates feeds from Windows Live and Facebook. You can also connect other services like LinkedIn, YouTube, Flickr, WordPress, and many more to Windows Live.
  • Pictures hub: Makes it easy to share pictures and videos with your friends via social networks.
