I'd love to be able to include links to our author's Twitter or Linkedin profiles vs Jabber, Yahoo Messenger or Aim accounts - yes I'm aware I can use plugins.

I'd like to think this would be something baked into the framework though - seems those three platforms are a wee bit out of date.

My preferred profiles:

Twitter
Linkedin
Facebook
Google +

Thanks!

Thanks for the recommend. Other than Google+ authorship, which has a very clear SEO benefit in the most popular search engine, we are not really adding anything for that in addition to what is in WordPress by default, instead we are deferring to plugins which can be updated more rapidly for the changing environment of social networks.
