4. A data processing device comprising:
-
a display screen; one more data storage devices storing a database of integrated contact information and account information, the contact information including contact identifiers that each identifies a potential counterparty for social interaction, and the account information including a first record characterizing a first representation of a first of the potential counterparties at a first account provided by a first entity that mediates social interaction and a second record characterizing a second representation of the first of the potential counterparties at a second account provided by a second entity that mediates social interaction, wherein the first and second records characterizing the first and second representations each includes data drawn from the respective of the first and second entities and are dispersed among other records characterizing other representations of others of the potential counterparties; and one or more data processors programmed to access the database of integrated contact information and identify the first and second records using the identifier of the at least one potential counterparty and display, at the same time on the display screen, a first graphical element indicating that outgoing social interaction mediated by the first entity is available and a second graphical element indicating that outgoing social interaction mediated by the second entity is available. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A data processing device comprising:
-
a display screen; one more data storage devices storing account information including a first record characterizing a first representation of an individual at a first account at a first entity that mediates social interaction, first status update information characterizing a first status update drawn from the first account, the first status update information including a characterization of the updated first status and a characterization of the time when first status was updated, a second record characterizing a second representation of the individual at a second account at a second entity that mediates social interaction, and second status update information characterizing a second status update drawn from the second account, the second status update information including a characterization of the updated second status and a characterization of the time when the second status was updated, one or more data processors programmed to access the first and second representations of the individual and identify the characterizations of the times when the first and the second status were updated, compare the times when the first and the second status were updated to determine the more recent of the first and the second status updates, and display, on the display screen, the more recent of the first and the second status updates based on the comparison of the times when the first and the second status were updated. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
