Well thank god for that. Probably the best news I'll hear all day.
""I have three devices permanently doing that already, what is our benefit to do so also?" Well, he makes a great point!"
Indeed he does. Common sense is a rare and beautiful thing.

I don't want to browse facebook, I just want to find my friends who use facebook and Miiverse AND THAT'S IT!
But how is Facebook supposed to inject ads into our WiiU experience now? They have to make money from the WiiU somehow!
Twitter and Facebook pee on a baby in a bath tub until the baby drowns because they wanted to see if babies float in pee.
Now I'm really, REALLY confused about what market(s) Nintendo is aiming the Wii U at. Are the trying to get back the casual market with that Singing game, Wii Fit and NSMB? Cause if so, I would have expected at least SOME connectivity with social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. It may not be my, or many other people who play games, cup of tea, but to ignore advances in social media, while basing an entire console around social media (Miiverse looks a lot like "what if facebook was a games console) seems a little off to me.
Exactly how will Miiverse be different from PS Home? Seems like another attempt at gamer-socialization that we will forget about in weeks.
They are doing it right.
I do seperate friends from gaming community, school community or business community.
Different communities with different people with different motivations and interests.
No need to mix them up.
If I want to talk about games on a specific platform it makes sense to have a specific community that displays what games are currently being played on this particular platform.
Don't need people from the outside who can't relate to my gaming experience on my gaming platform.

Thank god.
I'm also thankful my FB news feed won't be flooded with "Sarah Maliah saved the Princess before you FUCKER!"

would anyone really want twitter and facebook integration?
if you commented on a nintendo game you would probably get more slurs flung at you then .... can't think of a comparison.
basically people love to hate nintendo

I'd imagine that if they do include Facebook, it'll be its own seperate app where you can do what you normally do in Facebook but with the Wii U's tablet.
Ah well; this is not a big deal (assuming Miiverse works well).

Definitely a good thing. I'm really tired of consoles trying to consolidate every entertainment experience. Every time I fire up my Xbox, all I see are a gazillion little boxes and tabs that I never use. There are exactly three that I access on a daily basis:
Play game
Friends
Netflix.

That's good.
Facebook makes enough money out of pimping my data already--I don't want them in my console.
And the last thing I want from Twitter is a bunch of posts about how your mom just cleared a level in Cooking Mama.

Sorry, but that's kind of stupid. There's a huge Facebook and Twitter Community, but there is no "Wii Community", and there never will be....because of stupid shit like this. But whatever.
Just don't be surprised when nobody uses it.

I do like the idea of "just for gamers" social network. I already use some Facebook connectivity but I always filter it out to the people who'd actually give a shit otherwise I'd be spamming people.
I don't see how not having options is a good thing. I'm not going to use it but I'm not going to celebrate because other people can't.
Sigh.. I hope they don't think they can compete with their own version of similar services.. I totally get the feeling thats where they're going with this while toting that they're "protecting the kids" or something.
Honestly, I don't really use Facebook and I can give two shits about Twitter.. I just really don't want to read all the stories later on about how Nintendo fell on its face over this.

I've never understand the integration of social networks into gaming...of course, something like xbox live makes sense. But Facebook isn't designed around gaming. It's essentially a souped-up email. Sure, I might be able to let people know when I am gaming, but I'm not going to be using it while I'm gaming.
