SocialScope

Yesterday I grabbed the opportunity to try out a new Twitter/Facebook app ont the Blackberry – SocialScope. It is so much faster than Twitterberry and Twibble and runs all day without draining the battery that even in an early alpha, it is a no brainer to use. It does just about everything that Twitter allows, but as of yet, will only allow status updates to Facebook, while pulling in most of one’s news feed. Hopefully, in the future, it will allow comments on FB status updates as well as post on walls.Hopefully it will also be able to follow hash tags without going to the browser as well.

With the increased mainstreaming of microblogging (and notice that it’s not know as that “out there”… it’s called serial status updating), it seems that apps that provide this simple function will become increasingly popular – to the point that I think they may even replace txt – as data rates tumble and txt rates just keep going up.
