Following up on their hugely popular Facebook application for BlackBerry, RIM has now released MySpace for BlackBerry, allowing users access to one of the largest worldwide social networks. Here’s a look at some of the features:
-
o Share events and experiences as they happen
o Send and receive MySpace messages from practically anywhere
o Access your Friends List and view status information
o Receive automatic notifications when messages and comments arrive
o Snap a picture with your smartphone’s camera and post it to MySpace with one click
o View your friends’ photos and albums
o Let your friends know your status and mood while you’re on the go
In addition, RIM has launched a BlackBerry Community page on MySpace. It’s great to see RIM offering more consumer-focused applications, but I have one simple request: you’ve made a Facebook application, you’ve made a MySpace application, now please please make one for LinkedIn.
MySpace for BlackBerry Links
www.blackberry.com/myspace (Desktop download)
m.myspace.com (OTA download)
www.myspace.com/blackberry (MySpace BlackBerry Community page)
They could at least have done sth to make music available through this app
no
Myspace is not Facebook or Linkedin.
This has to be the nicest looking app I have on my blackberry. The photo viewing is fantastic and smooth, and I love that you can instantly set any photo as your home screen background.
If you have the Facebook app, be careful. Not sure if it’s just me, but the Facebook app stopped updating with statuses, requests, etc. There were at least 10 requests that I had today on the Facebook page, but none of them were sent to my Blackberry.
I uninstalled the Facebook app, then attempted to download a new copy. So far, I’m unable to download the app either OTA or through RIM’s Facebook app page (either getting a 404 error on the BB or an “Under Maintenance” error on the web page.
Good job, RIM.
It sounds like a lot of BlackBerry users are having some trouble downloading/installing the program. I had a lot of trouble using the OTA download. Once I was finally able to download/install the program, it doesn’t appear on the home screen.
Just a little update on the notification issue with Facebook.
Another user who installed Myspace for Blackberry found out that his notifications were disabled when using Facebook. He found that for some strange reason, all of his notifications in Facebook’s Account Settings were off. I checked my own, and damn if the same thing didn’t happen to me! I don’t know how the heck it happened, as I have not touched any of the them. In any event, switching them back on (at least the ones I wanted back on) resolved the issue.
FYI…
