UberTwitter 1.0 Has Officially Been Released

November 30, 2010 by Robb Dunewood Leave a Comment

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!

You can download UberTwitter 1.0 at the link below:

3rd Party BlackBerry Twitter Client UberTwitter Updated With New Map Options

October 8, 2010 by Robb Dunewood Leave a Comment

We just heard that UberTwitter Beta 9 Release 2 is now available. The major change in this version is the switch away from Google maps and to the choice of either BlackBerry Maps or MapQuest. UberTwitter hopes to bring Google Maps back in future release as well as add support for Bing Maps.

UberTwitter Beta 9 Release 2 change log:

Map Provider Allow users to select either MapQuest (default) or BlackBerry maps to display users locations.
User action to retrieve a map You now have to click the ‘Retrieve Map’ button after opening a tweet in order for the map to be retrieved. This will result in substantially lower bandwidth requirements and improved battery life.
UberChannel date display bug fix Fixed a bug where tweets in UberChannel streams had the date incorrectly displayed.
Resetting tweets to retrieve bug Fixed bug where on an upgrade the number of tweets to retrieve would reset to 60.
Highlight color in Midnight Theme bubble layout The highlight color in the Midnight theme when using the bubble layout is now much easier to discern.
Text Ad color We changed the color of the text ads to conform to the them colors. The ads are still clearly marked as an advertisement.
GPS Radio Activation The GPS radio will now only be activated when you open the compose tweet screen IF you have selected to use the GPS radio to determine location. This should greatly reduce battery drain, but may result in the location mechanism falling back to the cell tower method on some occassions.

SocialScope Updated And Opening Up Invites

September 1, 2010 by Robb Dunewood 3 Comments

I don’t talk about SocialScope, the third party Twitter/Facebook client for BlackBerry that has been in beta longer than most Google services, all that often simply because it is so hard for most BlackBerry users to get. SocialScope is in closed beta and has been since December of 2008.

That being said, SocialScope has been updated and more Social Scope invites are coming later this week. If you use Facebook and/or Twitter, stop what you are doing, head over to http://www.socialscope.net, and sign up for an invite into the private beta. I can’t promise that you will get in, however, if you do, you will get to tinker around with arguably the best BlackBerry Facebook client I’ve ever seen. The Twitter capabilities aren’t too shabby either…
