Social Networking

Social networking has taken the world by storm over the last couple of years, and now you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting someone who’s on Twitter. So what does this all mean? It means we have to get connected to our mates any time of the day and there’s no better way to do so than through your Blackberry!

Below are some of the best social networking apps available that will help you connect!

Facebook

Facebook is easily one of the most successful social networking sites out there - it’s a great way to stay in touch with pals from school, the office, holidays, whatever! Now you can do it through your Blackberry too with this app.

You can update your status, upload pictures and send messages to your pals all while on the move!

ITookThisOnMyPhone

This is perfect for the budding photographer - you can take pictures on your Blackberry and upload them onto your ITookThisOnMyPhone profile on the Internet. Never has there been an easier way to share your Blackberry photos!

You can also connect to all your favourite social networking sites, like Facebook and MySpace, easily through the app.

Loopt

If your mates have this app installed on their Blackberrys or iPhones then you’ll be able to find them using the location-based positioning service found in the actual app. A little creepy if you know any stalkers, but apart from that the benefits are endless.

You can also stay connected by sending messages, photos and comments. However, unfortunately for this app you can’t rely too heavily on the location aspect of the app, so you’ll probably end up sticking with your usual social networking apps.

MySpace

MySpace has made a name for itself for bringing new music artists to the public without the hassle of record labels and recording hob-nobs getting in the way. Not to mention the fact that you can do all this and still stay in touch with pals around the world.

This app works in the same way the Facebook app does, allowing you to stay in touch with chums by sending messages and commenting on photos.

Snap2Twitter

Using this app makes the whole process of uploading pictures to your Twitter account a load easier! When you take a picture on your Blackberry you are given the option to upload it onto your account and even add text.

Qik Livestream

This app allows you to stream video directly from your Blackberry. The app is beautifully simple making the whole process easy. The quality of the video is great and the streaming process is fast - if you like streaming video then this is for you!
