BlackBerry Social Network

Dipdive Launches “Love Stories” Brought To You By BlackBerry

by Leave a Comment

Social network Dipdive, started by BlackBerry Eyed Peas front man will.i.am, has launched Love Stories, brought to you by BlackBerry.

The concept for this Channel started in the middle of a Black Eyed Peas show in Sydney, Australia when will.i.am smiled and asked a fan for her camera.

He turned it on himself and in an unscripted moment said, “Even if no one listened to the music that we made I would still love what I do, because I love music from the bottom of my soul to the top of my soul to the inner of my soul, I love what I do!”

Then he turned it on the crowd and 20,000 fans answered back and just like that a movement was born.  If you love what you do take the song that will.i.am created and tell us what you do, share it with your friends and the rest of the world on this Channel.

RIM Launching BlackBerry Social Network, MyBlackBerry, Tomorrow… Maybe

by 5 Comments

It looks like Research in Motion is getting into the social networking game by launching their very own BlackBerry social network named MyBlackBerry.

MyBlackBerry, gives device owners a social profile where they can share opinions on their favorite apps, accessories as well as tips and tricks they use on their devices. More importantly, they can also vent about all of these things with fellow users, and RIM will be there to listen. The whole thing looks more like a bulletin board than what you might consider to be a traditional social network nowadays, but that’s probably a good idea to streamline it and make it all about information.

The site will be personalized based on what actual BlackBerry device you have, we’re told. So you won’t see loads of information about the BlackBerry Storm, if you don’t have that model.

BerryReviews’s Ronen Halevy has been secretly working with Research in Motion on MyBlackBerry and says that, “All in all, its a good start”, but, feels that MyBlackBerry still needs a lot of work if it does indeed launch tomorrow.

We will have to keep our eyes open for this one…
