TweetGenius for BlackBerry: it’s war on the Twitter streets

For those of you who haven’t yet fainted after reading the title, we have something extra special to share with you. It is a new BlackBerry Twitter application called TweetGenius — yes, it’s something that my team has cooked up, and we think the world of it. Dossy Shiobara, BlackBerry developer extraordinaire and myself have worked countless hours on bringing this application from a concept to a full-fledged Twitter communication tool. Up until now there have been a bunch of new Twitter clients popping up (UberTwitter, SocialScope, etc.) that have all missed that BlackBerry feel—the thing that every BlackBerry application is supposed to be have. You know, that let’s show off what a BlackBerry can do type of deal. We think we’ve created something this fabulous and past all the sexy visual effects (oh man, that *poof* effect is addicting), this is an application that works and works really well. It’s chock full of features — sending your GPS location, uploading pictures, unread tweet counters, keyboard shortcuts — and we’re now ready to soft-launch it. As of this moment, TweetGenius is available to purchase for a nominal fee for the BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Curve 8900 devices. Don’t feel left out though, it is only a matter of days before we launch support for the BlackBerry Storm, BlackBerry Curve 83xx and BlackBerry 88xx! Take a look at the short video sneak peak above, check out the application on the TweetGenius website, and more importantly, let us know what you think! Your TweetGenius experience is something we will take very seriously and we will incorporate as much user feedback as humanely possible in future updates. And hey, give us a little credit–We had over 50 testers and the application never leaked — ironic, eh?

    So this will be a paid app? If so, will there be any sort of free trial of the app?

    Looks like an awesome program. Congrats BG. Although, I would have preferred to see an app for the site like the one for the iPhone. I switch between both phones (Bold & iPhone) so itd be nice to see it on both OS’s.

    I’m just wondering why I would faint?
    I thought twitter was like iphone apps…you use it for the first 30 but then there’s no loyalty. ;)

    SocialScope is better. Too bad I won’t even get to try this since it’s not free. And even if you do pay for it, it’s only good till v2, what happens after that? Do you have to buy it again?

    Weak……

    Wow.. on sale for $4.99… normally $9.99

    How about a 7 day trial first… then i’ll MAYBE think about it.. sure it looks slick but.. i dont know if it does anything extra vs ubertwitter.
