Share to social media from in-game

Are there any sort of tools or API hooks developers can use to share statuses from in-game using Oculus VR?

Is the Oculus VR account accessible in games and is it hooked up to our social media profiles?

Or, will the user have to be taken to a web browser, log into the respective service, then back into the game to share?

Consider:
-Player levels up in RPG
-Game asks them to post to their Twitter for extra in-game gold
-Player clicks "Tweet"
-Game connects to Oculus VR account and issues a Tweet without ever having the player leave the game

So we're working on some ideas to make VR more social, but I don't know of any immediate plans to integrate these types of APIs or features. Hope that helps.

It does. Thank you very much.

How would I be one of the first to learn of these new features when they are implemented?
