Via their company blog yesterday, Seesmic updated BlackBerry users letting them know that the company would be ending support for Seesmic for BlackBerry on June 30th in favor of their more popular mobile operating systems like Android, iOS, and Windows Phone 7. In my opinion, Seesmic for BlackBerry was no third party Twitter client to write home about in comparison to its Android and iOS counterparts, but, quite honestly, this is really the case for more cross platform BlackBerry Twitter clients, as the iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 7 versions are much better than their BlackBerry counterparts.
What should be noted here is that Seesmic is not some small-time, fly by night, development company just trying to get by. With Twitter acquiring TweetDeck, Seesmic is easily one of the biggest third-party social media tools companies on the web and they’ve decided that continuing to create tools for the BlackBerry, which, even though is losing market share, is growing in users with over 65 million of them, isn’t worth the development effort.
That’s very telling RIM… We hope you are paying attention…

For all you UberTwitter and TwiDroyd users out there that are wondering why you third party Twitter client doesn’t seem to be working, it is because Twitter has suspended both of these popular Twitter clients from UberMedia for violating Twitter’s policies.
Regardless of how you access Twitter, we are dedicated to making Twitter better, faster and more reliable for you. As part of this effort, we ask applications that work with Twitter to abide by a simple set of rules that we believe are in the interests of our users, and the health and vitality of the Twitter platform as a whole. We often take actions to enforce these rules.
We have suspended UberTwitter and twidroyd for violating our policies.
Every day, we suspend hundreds of applications that are in violation of our policies. Generally, these apps are used by a small number of users. We are taking the unusual step of sharing this with you because today’s suspension may affect a larger number of users.
We are committed to helping you continue to use Twitter during the disruption of these applications. You can download Twitter for Blackberry, Twitter for Android and other official Twitter apps here. You can also try our mobile web site or apps from other third-party developers.
I can’t speak to the impact of TwiDroyd being shut down for Android users, but, UberTwitter is probably the most popular thrid party Twitter client readily available on the BlackBerry and a gazillion to the 2nd power users use it…
Something tells me that the number of requests for Social Scope invite codes is about to go through the roof.

UberTwitter has just announced that UberTwitter 1.0 has just been officially released after a long 18 month beta period.
Version 1.0 is now available for download! Yes, you read that right, we’re out of beta. After almost 18 months of reading and responding to over ten thousand emails, and using what we learned to direct and refine the feature set, the most popular Twitter client is now at version 1.0. The headline feature in this release is Facebook integration, of course we could have brought you the same integration that everyone else has, simple echoing your tweet text to Facebook, but no, we wanted your posts from ÜberTwitter to be first class citizens in your Facebook stream, complete with rich media previews for pictures and location. Über posts if you will! We think you’ll really like this feature!
