755318 - Need a way for users to add IM/Social accounts

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Participation Infrastructure :: Phonebook, enhancement)

Description

Attachment: Inspiration from Fb

We need a way for users to add their instant messenging (IM) accounts to their profiles. It'll fit well under "Contact Info". In terms of how, here's the breakdown of what's needed and optimal solution:

* Be able to add more than one IM account
* Picking and choosing the type of network (Suggestion: drop-down list)
* Text field to add in the person's account info for that network


Twitter and Facebook are both websites and IM accounts, so that can be confusing. For this phonebook, we'll leave them out of the "IM accounts" field to keep things simple.

If a user clicks on "Add more", a new row entry for IM Accounts will display. Offer a max limit of 10 IM accounts that can be added for ux sanity check.

This feature is under development right this instant; the front end is already live in dev (https://mozillians-dev.allizom.org/en-US/user/edit/) and the back end will be live there soon. 

It'll launch with our next release.
