Snikkr is a cool little program mainly for social productivity that brings together social networking, productivity and location-based services to your BlackBerry device.

Snikkr lets you share your location, status and favorite places with your friends, family and co-workers on the go. You decide how much to share with each friend, and for how long. Going on a trip with some friends for the weekend? Snikkr let’s you share your location and relevant places with those friends for the next 48 hours. On Monday morning, your location stops being shared.

Snikkr’s location-based and social networking features are integrated into your smart-phone’s built-in calendar and contacts. Want to get directions to that upcoming meeting? Just one click from your phone’s calendar application and you get turn-by-turn directions from where you are now. Need to see where your contact’s business is on a map? Just one click for that, too.

Unlike other productivity tools, Snikkr is fully integrated into your existing applications. No re-typing addresses and names into Snikkr that are already in your phone’s contact list.

Snikkr is built from the ground up for smart-phones, and designed to make things you need to do from your phone easy and fast. Driving to a meeting and trying to fumble with your phone’s browser to enter an address and get directions? Better pull over first! But with Snikkr, you can get those directions with a single click, much faster than it takes the next stoplight to change.

Unlike many other mobile social applications, Snikkr makes your smart-phone a first class citizen, with a fully optimized, native application.

If you are at your computer, you can still use Snikkr’s great location-based and social networking features. See where your friends are right now, and send messages and favorite places to whatever device they are using now.

Planning a trip? Use the web version of Snikkr to look up places to eat, stay and visit, and quickly add them to your favorites. Those favorites automatically sync to your phone, and are shared with your Snikkr friends.

Unlike mobile-only applications, Snikkr can be used from the Web, and gives you access to great location-based social productivity services right from your desktop.
