Twitter without SMS

Advertising

The social networking and micro-blogging website Twitter was aimed at cell phone users for posting updates via sms. In the US, UK, and Canada, people can send and receive tweets via SMS at no extra charge, apart from the normal cost of text messaging service. To send tweets without sms there is an application called TwitterBerry for all BlackBerry phones. Download this BlackBerry app and install it; once the program is started you are asked to log in with your Twitter username and password. TwitterBerry then downloads your updates and displays them in a mini-Twitter screen, with the bar on top asking: "What are you doing?"



At the bottom are the characters available: 140, which countdown as you type your tweet. The menu key brings up many other options. The latest version of TwitterBerry is integrated with TwitPic, letting you post photos with your tweets. A similar app for the iPhone is Twitter, while Tiny Twitter is for windows mobile based phones.
