For those of you who are following me on Twitter (@mjadalhack), then you know that I had taken a break from TweetGenius in the meantime, and went over to UberTwitter for a few months. Earlier this afternoon, I tweeted that I was switching from UberTwitter to Seesmic for my personal account for a bit. Of course in the past we all tried Seesmic for BlackBerry, but today is my first day making real use of the app, as it is now full time. Seesmic for BlackBerry just made its way to the BlackBerry App World today, expanding itself to folks all over the world who need to tweet via BlackBerry. Recently the application went through some nice updates, making it more realistic to download and switch to. Continue reading to view the full change log:

New features in 1.1.10:

Support for BlackBerry OS 4.5
Now have a version for our older models with OS 4.5. This covers older model BlackBerry devices with all the same features.
Keyboard shortcuts
Now you can use standardized set of keyboard shortcuts to easily navigate and manage your messages. Here are just a small example of keystrokes included:

T (for top) – brings you to the top of the messages
B (for bottom) – brings you to the bottom of the messages
R (reply) – reply to your message
L (reply To all) – reply to all the usernames in the message

Auto-correction and Spellcheck
Incorporated the BlackBerry standard for auto-correcting your messages (ex. “i” converts to “I”), as well as pressing the action button to produce a dropdown of suggested corrective words.

Notifications Improvements
Modified our notification system, so the Seesmic icon will only show upon new replies and messages.

Favorite Tweets

Added the ability to favorite a tweet within your timeline. We’ll work to have a Favorites view in a future release.

Font Size Selections

Choose different sizes to your liking of small, medium, and large in our settings menu to best read your tweets.
