Free app: SocialScope Lite now available for BlackBerry!

By Mauricio

*UPDATE The BlackBerry Lite version has gone into closed beta like the full SocialScope version. It actually looks like the Lite version and full SocialScope version might be one in the same now.

SocialScope is in private beta. To request an invite, complete the form below and we’ll be in touch as soon as an account is available.

Along with making it closed beta they have also changed around their links and redesigned their site. Maybe for a big release? We’ll see.

Those that were able to download it when they did should consider themselves lucky . I’ll be keeping an eye on SocialScope in case they decide to open it again. *

For the past few weeks I’ve been part of a closed beta of SocialScope for BlackBerry, a social network application that currently integrates Twitter and Facebook.

While checking my Tweets yesterday I noticed that there has been a lot of talk about a SocialScope Lite application. At first I thought it was either a joke or a prank because @SocialScope had not officially mentioned anything.

After doing some searching I found a review blog post by Paul Boocock with plenty of screenshots and details. Up till now I couldn’t really talk about the new features since I was testing out a newer version, but it looks like the SocialScope Lite application is pretty much the same. At least I didn’t notice any difference so far.

Since SocialScope Lite is out there…I guess I can go into details now .

Features:

• Add your Twitter and Facebook accounts for status updates
• Multiple tabs for each account, saved searches and groups
• Forward as Retweet, Email or SMS
• Profile alerts for each type of Tweet
• View user profiles, followers, friends, recent updates as well as follow/unfollow options
• View your own profile
• Visible “new tweet” notifications

SocialScope is my favorite social network application so far, and they have lots of upcoming features I’m sure everyone will be excited about.
