Facebook For Blackberry = Crap.
Sep 28th
I have had a Blackberry 8830 World Edition for a few weeks. I like it – makes nice clear calls, checks my e-mail, and the browser is adequate for when I’m not around wi-fi for the iPod Touch. However, the app ecosystem is just not there yet. One such example is the Facebook app written by RIM for the Blackberry. My biggest complaint is that you can’t turn off notifications, so every time someone does something on Facebook, your phone beeps. The consensus online for getting around such hurdles is logging out of the Facebook app each time you’re done with it, or, uninstall it.
I chose the latter option. If I need Facebook on the Blackberry, I’ll just use the browser. I can’t wait for an iPhone option on Verizon, though I doubt it’s coming anytime soon.
Tying in with Facebook and Twitter.

The wordpress plug-in ecosystem is rather powerful. I’ve already installed plug-ins that allow me to connect my posts at tedaugust.com to both Twitter and Facebook. For example, when ever I post here on tedaugust.com, I’ll be able to send a tweet out to my followers automatically. Also, any post I make here can be optionally be posted to my profile at Facebook.
Pretty neat stuff!
