CHAPTER 24: Social Networking
406
At the time of this writing, BlackBerry had just
released its own Twitter client. There are also
more than half a dozen pretty good Twitter
clients, and many of them are free. Try out
UberTwitter or one of the others.
Logging into the Apps
You can log into the apps as follows:
To connect to your account on Facebook, Flickr, or MySpace, you will
need click the icon you just installed. We use the example of Facebook
here, but the process is very similar for the rest of the Apps.
Once Facebook is successfully downloaded, the icon in your
Downloads folder should look something like this.
NOTE: You might find your Facebook icon in your Social Networking folder,
depending on your carrier.
There is a lot to like about having Facebook
and other social networking apps on your
Blackberry. You can always stay in touch.
Just log in as you do on your computer, and
you are r eady t o g o---- - anytime, anywhere,
from your BlackBerry.
Facebook
Since Facebook was founded in February of 2004, it has served as the premier site for
users to connect, reconnect, and share information with friends, coworkers and family.
Today, over 400 million people use Facebook as their primary source of catching up
with the people who matter to them.
