Just as I’m getting out of class, I get an email from Hootsuite. They have let me know that their app which was in private beta, is now Public. That’s right, Hootsuite is now available to download for free and in public beta. If you’re unfamiliar with Hootsuite for BlackBerry, it allows you the ability to update your status for both Facebook and Twitter. Plus scope out on-board stats, scheduling and the other core HootSuite features in which are available through the web app. Other features of Hootsuite for BlackBerry include:
- Manage multiple social identities and networks
- Receive optional background notifications for updates
- Create custom views for tags and searches
- Schedule messages to send in the future
- Share and store photos & files
- Shorten URLs with built-in Ow.ly tool
Head over to hootsuite.com/blackberry to download the public beta. OS 4.2 and above required, so Torch users can join in on the fun as well.
