How do you Twitter?
by The PocketBerry TeamTwitter has grown pretty big over the years as many people joining love to blog on it updating their statuses. As addictive as it has become, there are of course Twitter clients to download for your BlackBerry smartphone to stay wired on it 24-7. They all have the same functions for the most part, but they have created in a way that the user will pick and choose what they like best.
We all know about TwitterBerry which has been the primary and most simple application for Twitter users. The platform is very straight forward too. As soon as you open the application, it says ” What are you doing?” Then below you have room to type away whatever you want to post on to your Twitter and click “Update” after being finished. It also has the convenience of telling you how many characters you have left to type. When clicking your Menu button in TwitterBerry, the options listed are: Update, Friends Timeline, Get Replies, Direct messages, Public Timeline, My Timeline, Get Friend List, Sent Direct Messages, & Configure. All functionalities of PC-based Twitter exist here.
We then discovered another program called BBTweet, which is not as popular as TwitterBerry. They advertise it as “Twitter for your BlackBerry without the text messaging bill.” People still tend to use it though and it is in beta. It regularly goes through your Twitter account to find new messages and puts them into your BlackBerry Messages folder. Replying back and forth is really simple. Its functionalities are just like the Twitter via SMS, except you do not pay for the SMS here, if you do not have unlimited text messaging in your plan.
Now we see the beta soft release of the all new SocialScope which will become the #1 Twitter client, if they keep it up that is. Obtaining your own copy is by invitation only at the moment due to testing and glitches that already exist on there. On this client, it supports both your Facebook and Twitter at the same time. It is optional to not use on or the other, but it is very handy to be able to update your status once, and have it go on both clients. There are other empty tabs available now so who knows what other functions shall be added. I am personally using both TwitterBerry and SocialScope at the moment, love them both equally only because SocialScope is still in beta, and TwitterBerry has been made so simple to use.
