Please add the ability to find friends via Twitter. It seems nonsensical that Fitbit posts statuses daily for many users, but we're unable to find and add those same Twitter friends via Fitbit.

Would be nice if "Find more friends" could search a few more sources like LinkedIn, Gmail, Hotmail, local contact list.

I would like to see more intergration from other social media than just Facebook for suggesting friends, i dont use Facebook but use other sites like Twitter

Wouldn't it be good if Fit it could be linked to our Twitter accounts, so we can then add friends, as well as post our achievements as we go along. It would mean we wouldn't have to rely on third party activity trackers

Really looking forward to this feature being added.  Seems silly that we can add Facebook friends, but not our Twitter followers. Other social media platforms should be included as well, but Twitter is a no-brainer.

I have been hoping for this to be added since I got my Fitbit. I know I must have some friends on Twitter who use a Fitbit that I'd like to add.

 

Don't know why the Fitbit engineers have no interest whatsoever in adding this as a feature...

Looks like this will NEVER be added into Fitbit. Suggestions like these seem to go in one ear, and out the other.

Any moderator going to chip in on this?

The app/website has the option to add friends via Contacts, Facebook, or Email. How about finally adding the ability to add friends via Twitter?

 

This is something that has been asked by users for several years now, and yet seems to be a feature Fitbit developers could care less about adding, for some reason. 

 

Please, Fitbit... add this as a feature!

They will never do this. It's been requested here before, but like always, they could care less.

Beating a long dead horse here, but as someone who DOESN'T USE FACEBOOK, it'd be nice to be able to add friends via Twitter. 

 

I doubt this will be given any serious consideration, and this request will sit unresolved for years to come.

Thanks for participating in the Feature Request board!

 

I really like your idea about having your Twitter's friends linked to your Fitbit account since there are people that don't use Facebook, only Twitter.

Thanks for having this reviewed, Cindy. 

 

Any idea if this feature request will get and serious consideration? Giving your customer base the ability to connect via other social platforms beyond Facebook (like Twitter) could only help the Fitbit ecosystem.
