Seesmic acquires Ping.fm – How does it affect you?
by The PocketBerry Team
As you all know, Ping.fm allows you to update all you social networks in one place all at once. We were just going through our RSS reader and came across the Seesmic blog where it looks like they have just acquired Ping.fm. Of course there is no actual statements in regards to the BlackBerry app, but Seesmic adding Ping.fm features to its services will enable you to update from over 50 different social networks out there.
Seesmic for BlackBerry launched not too long ago with some bugs and missing links which didn’t encourage many to keep permanently. Seeing them go along with Ping.fm, it will push and strive users to start using Seesmic for BlackBerry. What we were really excited to see was when BlackBerry app mentions were made in this blog post:
Seesmic applications on Blackberry, Android, Web, Windows and OSX via Air will all have advanced Ping.fm integration very shortly and therefore will instantly support 50 social networks. Seesmic users will also be able to update not only with the apps they are used to, but also with Ping.fm’s email, sms and chat gateways.
So how does this affect you? We don’t want to get into birds and bees of social networks, but know that you’ll be able to update all your social networks from one single applcation. As you can see we’re not completely being left in the dark here and have been promised that the services will come to the BlackBerry platform. A few days ago, we asked you all on Twitter if you used Seesmic for BlackBerry and if you would ever consider using it. For those who said no, have you changed your mind?
