swap Twitterberry for Ubertwitter was one of the ripe decisions I ’ve ever made in my life , but even that has its shortfalls . BlackBerry ’s impend Twitter app looks heaps better , from the design to actual serviceability .
It ’s not uncommitted yet , but you’re able to bless up for an invite code for the genus Beta launching later this year . I have n’t tested it out yet on my Bold 9700 as am juggle another earphone today , but I ’ll definitely be giving my thoughts on it next workweek after essay it out by rights ( read : twitch about my true cat ) .
In the meanwhile , let ’s calculate at some of those feature of speech . you may compose a new tweet from the feed of update , rather than having to go to a disjoined screen like in most apps . It ’s compatible with a lot of the aboriginal BlackBerry programme , enable you to send a URL from the web browser app to Twitter ( mechanically resize it to a bit.ly link ) , with the same process potential when take a photo , using the Twitpic service .
The piloting icons at the top are a heck of a lot cleaner and more in keeping with the BlackBerry UI — as you ’d expect , view they developed it . From left to right , the icons admit help , replies , your visibility , lineal content , search for a user , search ( which lets you filter by law of proximity ) , and trending subject .
Direct messages are pushed through straightaway , and the official retweet function is supported by the app . Whether that ’s a good affair or forged thing , I ’ll leave it to you to decide , but I personally ca n’t put up that newfangled recycled retweet feature . Nothing worse than seeing someone ’s facial expression in your provender , who you unfollowed long ago . Or maybe that ’s just me .
Before the adult roll - out at the remnant of the year , BlackBerry mean on polishing it up and has even mentioned the possibility of adding geo - tagging support , tilt , profile editing and multi - account log - in . All those feature would be excellent please BlackBerry , but particularly the latter . [ BlackBerry Blogs ]
