UberTwitter Beta 8 Now Available with Unique Twitter Features

July 28th, 2010 BBerryNews

ubertwitter beta 8

UberTwitter Beta 8 is now available for download and it has some cool features that are very unique to BlackBerry Twitter clients. One particularly cool feature, is the ability to mute Twitter users so that you can continue to follow them, but their tweets will not show up in your timeline. This is a great new feature because it allows you to maintain the courtesy of following a user, without having to actually read their messages. You can have this feature expire as well, so you only have the user muted for ‘x’ number of days.

Another cool feature in UberTwitter Beta 8 is the ability to add and remove items from what’s called the “UberBar”. The UberBar has the basic Twitter navigation including @ replies, direct messages and the timeline. You can add trending topics, searches as well as users to your UberBar in order to better manage your timeline and users. Overall, it’s features like these that are going to get users to change over from their current Twitter app of choice. Users probably aren’t married to any one Twitter client and as long as companies are continually innovating, the users will come.

To download UberTwitter Beta 8, head over to http://www.ubertwitter.com/bb/download.php.

Check Out The Simple Mobile Review Podcast!

July 28th, 2010 BBerryNews

Simple Mobile Review Podcast

As many regular RIMarkable readers know, I participate in a weekly podcast about wireless technology news and gadgets called the Simple Mobile Review Podcast.  It’s a fairly new show that we (myself and the guys over at Simple Mobile Review) started recording around the beginning of the year and we’ve just completed our 29th episode, of which every single last one of them has been absolute blast to record.

The SMRpodcast isn’t specifically about devices coming out of Research in Motion, however, BlackBerry news is a big part of what we talk about and is a major segment of the show each week.  You can listen to the show directly from the web, or, you can subscribe to it and have it automatically downloaded to iTunes, your Zune, or subscribe to our RSS feed to listen in your podcast player of choice.  We even have a free SMRpodcast application for BlackBerry users that you can install to your device and have the show automatically downloaded every week.

When you get a chance, listen to the show.  Follow our new Twitter account, @SMRPodcast, and leave us comments telling us what you like about the show, what you dislike about the show, and if there is anything that you’d like us to cover in an upcoming episode.

Oh yeah, I am not above bribing new listeners.  We are going to do some really good giveaways in upcoming episodes, however, they will only be mentioned during the show and via the @SMRpodcast Twitter account.  You’ve got to listen to the show and follow us on Twitter to get in on them…
