Twitter App Launched for BlackBerry Handsets

Twitter for BlackBerry
The Twitter app for BlackBerry phones offers some cool new features

 
Twitter for BlackBerry smartphones has been released as a publicly available beta. The client has been tested internally by RIM since February, and the general release includes a number of extra features.

The client enables BlackBerry users to tailor the way @replies and direct messages are pushed to their device, and new messages are sent in real-time so that users can respond instantly.


The app also provides notice of tweets and re-tweets, allows users to search Twitter for keywords, and the layout has been optimised for the smaller screens on BlackBerry devices. Links are automatically shortened without the need to visit a third-party site.

The free app runs in the background, allowing BlackBerry users to continue checking emails or surfing the internet while still sending and receiving tweets. Users can also build, view and edit Twitter lists, and take and share photos using their BlackBerry's built-in camera.

There is currently no support for trending topics, but Research in Motion said it hoped to add this feature in time for the client's full release in the coming months.

Mobile phones are becoming an increasingly popular way for users to update their Twitter accounts and share links and photos. Many of the main mobile platforms, including Google Android devices and the Apple iPhone, also offer bespoke Twitter clients.

Kerajaan Jeumpa, Kerajaan Islam Pertama Nusantara

Mengenai teori Islamisasi di Nusantara, para ahli sejarah terbagi menjadi 3 kelompok besar, yaitu pendukung (i) Teori Gujarat (ii) Teori Parsia dan (iii) Teori Mekah (Arab). Bukan maksud tulisan ini untuk membahas teori-teori tersebut secara mendetil, namun dari penelitian yang penulis lakukan, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa Teori Mekkah (Arab) lebih mendekati kebenaran dengan fakta-fakta yang dikemukakan. Teori Mekkah (Arab) hakikatnya adalah koreksi terhadap teori Gujarat dan bantahan terhadap teori Persia. Di antara para ahli yang menganut teori ini adalah T.W. Arnold, Crawfurd, Keijzer, Niemann, De Holander, SMN. Al-Attas, A. Hasymi, dan Hamka. i Arnold menyatakan para pedagang Arab menyebarkan Islam ketika mereka mendo...

MyWare: Personalized Service or Invasion of Privacy?

There's a fine line between what is considered a knowledge database and an invasion of privacy, and that line is likely to be determined by marketing. This week we wrote an article about Please Rob Me - a service that identifies Foursquare and Gowalla check-ins on Twitter and lets others know that a person is not home. While location-based services are often touted for their social and recommendation-based benefits, the realization that they can be used negatively have many questioning the responsibility of those groups that collect the data. In mid January Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg stated that the age of privacy had come to an end and we responded that evolving preferences were not a valid justification of the elimination of privacy preferences . Nevertheless, between cookie tracking and browser identifiers like those shown in the EFF's Panopticlick and the fact that it only takes your zip code, gender and birthdate to identify you, it's hard to ensure to...
