RIM launches Twitter for Blackberry

RIM has launched a beta version of twitter for Blackberry. New things in this version include Geo tagging Tweets, Push @Mentions, Chat-Style Messages, #Topic Auto complete. Also RIM has enhanced the graphics of Twitter application so you get a better view.


Geo Tagging:
Geotagging functionality on Twitter for BlackBerry smartphones is designed to allow you to add your geographical location to Tweets (i.e. the neighborhood and city you are located in at the time of your Tweet). Geotags provide valuable context to your Tweets, as it allows others to see what location you’ve tweeted from. You can enable this feature in the Options menu, as it is turned off by default.

Push @Mentions
Now when you’re mentioned on Twitter, you’ll immediately receive a notification on your BlackBerry smartphone through the use of BlackBerry Push technology. You can control whether you want to be notified when anyone mentions you, or just when your followers mention you. With Push @Mentions, you’ll know who is talking about you or to you, so you can continue the conversation as it happens.
Chat-Style Messages
We’ve renamed Direct Messages to Messages to align with the online Twitter experience and redesigned the interface to follow a chat-style layout. Personally, this is one of my favorite changes!
#Topic Autocomplete
The #Topic Autocomplete feature will pop up a list of keywords based on previous hashtagged words(e.g.BlackBerry) in Tweets, Retweets, or any hashtagged words you’ve selected or searched for in Popular Topics, as well as in applications like Facebook® for BlackBerry smartphones.
