Put a face to a name in Social updates

[#1]

In the ACT marketing literature, it says "Put a face to a name by viewing recommended Sage ACT! contact match-ups and associating them with your LinkedinConnections and Facebook friends" .

While ACT does indeed show you the pictures when you first connect them from Linkedin, it would be great if they actually took the picture and inserted it in to the picture field like the one on the Personal Info tab on the ACT demo layout. This would help to make a stonger connection between you and your contact by displaying who they are in ACT instead of having to jump out to Social Media or import a picture.

Due to some restrictions in Facebook and LinkedIn terms of use we are not permitted to save information from their profiles into our database. 

We could support a URL field to show a picture and I like that idea. This would mean you'd have to be connected to the internet and logged into the social media account to establish authentication, but I think those are reasonable expectations. 

We are changing the way Social Updates works in Sage ACT! 2013 SP1. This will provide a full profile link within the Social Updates tab and allow you to see the picture without having to "re-link". I think this will take us a step closer to your request.
