Nice Tips Foursquare

Forgot to mention this a couple weeks ago when the latest release of Foursquare for BlackBerry came out, but the application has added a tab in the top navigation for Tips.  The purpose of the screen is obvious enough, it’s a listing of tips for places near where you are and from each tip you [...]

Review: Seesmic For BlackBerry with Ping.fm Integration

Back in January Seesmic, the Twitter client developer, bought Ping.fm, the service for simultaneously updating multiple social networks.  At the time they boldly promised a BlackBerry application that merged the two services by the end of the month, but version 1.2.19, that was released at the end of January, had no Ping.fm functionality at all.  [...]

New Seesmic For BlackBerry, No Ping Integration

When Seesmic and Ping.fm merged last month they promised a new version of the application with Ping.fm features included.  Yesterday I checked in on how they were doing and lo and behold  a new version of Seesmic was released last month.  That is the good news.  The bad news is that unfortunately it does not [...]

Seesmic + Ping.fm = Total Social Network Access Via BlackBerry?

While writing up a review of the spectacular new ÜberTwitter release, word came that Seesmic had acquired Ping.fm.  If you don’t know Seesmic produces a range of Twitter clients for Windows, BlackBerry, Android, etc. and Ping.fm is a service for updating multiple social networks singularly or simultaneously via email, IM and text messaging.
Put these two [...]
