As I take it 3rd party apps now have access to API's to interact and connect there.

Hi, how about the messaging app, can I fast switch between sms and messenegr and facebook in WP 8.1 or everything is independet now? Can I start a facebook chat directly from the contact on peoples hub?

Actually, Microsoft has discarded the original features of social media integration. practically there is no more people hub anymore. it does list the posts from social media but it will open the posts in individual applications. means you have to have twitter & Facebook app installed in order to complete any post/comment.

the people hub in 8.1 is just a contact list.
