Social Networking on the Blackberry

MySpace released their mobile application for the Blackberry last week. This seems like a perfect time to list some of the core social media applications that you can run directly from the Blackberry (rather than accessing through a web browser). For Internet marketers using the Blackberry here are the tools I would recommend downloading:

• Facebook Client
  One of the best ways to access your account. The application focusing on the core areas of FB without any of the distractions.


• MySpace Client
  Similar to the Facebook application in functionality (homepage, inbox, friend requests, comments, friends and photos). Clean and snappy interface.


• TwitterBerry
  Tweet with relative abandon from your Blackberry


• Viigo
  The best RSS reader for the Blackberry.


• ShoZu
  Upload photos and videos to social media sites.
