I don't think we should ever built contracts into the contractor package. We should always have the choice to remove services (read: packages) that we may not want.
Gwibber may not be an option, but what about Polly? For things like Facebook, G+, or U1 I think they should be their own separate packages not forced in. As for configuring online accounts, there is already such a thing ;) I'm not sure how flexible GNOME Online Accounts is, but that's something to look into for sure. I really want to avoid a situation though where we have a bunch of crap installed that you have to go around turning off just to get a clean desktop.
