Seesmic: Twitter Blackberry App

Share

After I received information from a mailing list about another twitter application; Seesmic. I directly download it and test it in my Storm. First impression, the application gives a very clean UI and it loads the timeline very fast. Seesmic Twitter app is only 225.7KB so it is easy in your memory

With less tweaking in options and no support for multi-accounts yet, this is a good alternative to Ubertwitter. 

Give it a try, just go to www.seesmic.com from your Blackberry.

Happy try.

Local App: Domikado ver 1.6.1

Share

Domikado is a local app that provide access to Indonesian Stock Market, Forex, Headlines, Sports news mostly from Local via RSS feeds, Entertainment, Restaurants, Directories and Twitter. You can download it from www.domikado.com via your Blackberry browser.

I installed Domikado few days ago and here are few things I like to point out:

1. You can add stocks to WatchList by adding the stock code. Hit Refresh to get the most recent

For first time, you need to create user that will bring you to domikado site to complete the registration and after you activate the account from your email, you are good to go.

2. Restaurants, you can get phone no, serving time, address, and price range. Very useful I say. But it could be better if it can show in the map

3. You can get TV schedule and also movies schedule from 2 major cinemas. You first start choosing the city, the cinema then it will open the schedule in your browser

4. First twitter app made in Indonesia, nice. It can do what other Blackberry twitter app does, except there is no option for auto-refresh, so you need to do it manually.
