Twitterberry 0 Ubertwitter 1

The current trend of so called Social networking at the moment is to be linked in constantly and able to provide such juicy details as (And I quote)

“going to eat a banana, read eclipse, and then go to sleep.” - http://www.twitter.com/frenchigirl

Now this may seem pointless to most people and indeed to myself but there is something incredibly addictive about spying on people’s activities and indeed allowing yourself to be spyed on.

So in order to keep up with this trend various clients have been released for the Blackberry and up until this morning I was attempting to us Twitterberry.  Now unfortuantely around about 2 weeks ago this decided that it was no longer going to download other people’s statuses leaving me tweetless for my journey home on the train.

So in response to this I removed the application and have installed Ubertwitter on my Blackberry 8820, which although is still only in Beta, seems to be a very tidy app.  This app also has support for location support, which works in the same way google maps finds your location on your mobile phone.

So now I can happily go back to watching the daily soap drama that is life from the discomfort of a First Great Western train.

And for those of you that are interested, here I am on Twitter http://twitter.com/Gary_Black
