Electric Pocket let me know that they have launched their latest BlackBerry application called Twitterlerts.
Twitterlerts helps a user monitor Twitter by automatically scanning it for the chosen topics, alerting the user to important changes, and letting them tweet or share tweets right from their BlackBerry.
“We think Twitter searching has a lot to offer both businesses and individuals, and is an ideal way to use Twitter when mobile,” says Iain Barclay, Electric Pocket’s Chief Product Officer. “Twitterlerts makes it really simple for our users to track topics that matter to them, and our unique alerting feature means they don’t miss out on timely access to important information.”
Features:
Easily make powerful searches on Twitter
Save searches for rapid use
Set alerts on important subjects
Share interesting Tweets by email
Most features work without a Twitter account
Sign-in to Twitter to Tweet, Reply, Repost and Follow
Twitterlerts will work with any BlackBerry running OS 4.6 and higher.
Until August 31st you can get Twitterlerts for $4.99, originally $7.99. A free trial is available so check it out in the store and let me know what you think in the comments!
More info in the full press release after the jump.

Today is day 2 of BlackBerry Tour Week! The Deal-of-the-Day today is for Beyond160, an application that allows you to type more than 160 character text messages.
A must-have application for users on Verizon, Sprint, Alltel, U.S. Cellular, Bell, Telus, and all other CDMA carriers with a 160 (or 140) character limit when composing a text message.
Field full? Simply hit Menu –> Go Beyond160 and continue typing as much as you want.
Make your message as long as you want and Beyond160 will automatically send it in multiple parts with the appropriate markers… (1/3), (2/3), (3/3).
Sent messages will go to your normal Outbox.
Saved drafts will go to your normal Inbox.
Send to one recipient, multiple recipients, or even contact groups you’ve created.
If you’re tired of re-wording your text to try and make it fit… If you’re tired of creating another message just to finish your thoughts… If you’re tired of switching to MMS and not knowing if they’ll receive it… Then get Beyond160 and experience the freedom!
Beyond160 will also work with QuickText, if installed, so try them both for the ultimate in texting efficiency.
Fully Operational 14 Day Trial Period
PLEASE NOTE – Each message part is just like a normal SMS text message sent from your BlackBerry. So, if you don’t have an unlimited text messaging plan, then carrier charges may apply. For example… If you type a message that is 350 characters long, Beyond160 will send it in 3 parts, which is the same as sending 3 individual text messages.
This application will work with any BlackBerry running OS 4.2 and higher.
Beyond160 is normally priced at $6.99, but until 12AM CST tonight you can get it for 50% off at $3.49. A free trial is available for anyone that wants to try it before they buy it.
