Social – When it comes time to chat with friends and share your favourite moments, the apps listed below are sure to please.
It took time for the official Facebook application to arrive to Windows 8 and it made the perfect bait requiring people to update to Windows 8.1. The official Facebook application shares the same layout scheme as all other platform applications (iOS, Android, and Windows Phone), while bringing modern design style to the table. The app comes complete with multiple snap modes, live tiles, notifications, and now – “smiley stickers”. What could be better? You can download the app from the Windows Store by clicking here.
The official application from Twitter provides a great mark as an easy to use social communication app. While some features such as “live streams” are not present, design and functionality make up for it. The application includes real time notifications of Direct Messages, Mentions, and more. You can download the app from the Windows Store by clicking here.
Skype
Once you are done typing characters to your friends, you can decide to chat face to face with Microsoft’s official Skype application for Windows 8. While the application needs better support in the “multi-party conversation” department, a one on one chat with your friend has never been so great. The application can snap to any size and includes calls that can be displayed and answered on top of your machine’s lock screen. You can download the app from the Windows Store by clicking here.
