Free HootSuite Multi Social Network App For BlackBerry Updated With Facebook Events & Twitter Lists

By Mauricio

This week seems to be the week for Twitter/Facebook apps on BlackBerry smartphones. First UberSocial updated theirs then RIM updated the Twitter for BlackBerry beta, now HootSuite has updated their BlackBerry app. It’s been a few months since the HootSuite app for BlackBerry was updated but I’m glad they haven’t forgotten about us. See, who needs a quitter when there are so many others willing to take up the challenge. Here are the new features in the latest update, version 0.6.31:

• Facebook Search streams – Search all public status updates for your brand or keyword, then save in a stream to track
• Facebook Events stream – Keep track of event invitations, manage your RSVPs, and view the guest list and attendee status
• Twitter List management – Create or view lists, add or remove people, see who’s listed you, and add lists as a permanent stream

HootSuite is available as a free download and will work on most BlackBerry smartphones. If you have a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, I recommend trying the HootSuite website through its browser. For more info and to download the BlackBerry app go to hootsuite.com/blackberry. According to @HootBerry this is a public beta so just to be safe, make sure you backup your data before downloading the app.
