New Contest! Who do you wish had Twitter?
When Cell Guru asked me to come up with a new contest, I wanted to do something fun and really pick your brains.
I know most, if not all, of you have seen Fight Club (don’t give me any of that “I read the book and it was better” crap… I did too and it wasn’t even Palahniuk’s best work – Survivor FTW) and the same number have a Twitter account. Well I watched it while I was doing laundry the other day and I’ve always loved the “who would you fight” question.
So here is my question: What person from history (past or present) do you wish had Twitter and what would you love to see them tweet?
Maybe you’d like to see da Vinci mention he just painted the “some chick with the craziest smile”, or Martin Luther tweet the location of his 95 Theses (think he’d use foursquare?).
Possibly Nero tweeting a joke about “starting fires under the people of Rome” or even a Noah “looks like rain” comment?
So let’s hear it guys and gals. You know the drill: you leave comments and we give out prizes. This time we’ve teamed up cellunlock.net to give out 50 – yes, 5 0 – unlock codes to our favorite comments.
The contest will run until Friday at midnight with the winners announced Sunday evening.
Happy commenting!

UberTwitter for BlackBerry Updated

This could be the only BlackBerry twitter app to really compete with the official Twitter for BlackBerry client. Since its launch about a year ago, the updates have been consistent and noticeable. Frankly, If I wasn’t using Tweetissimo (the push twitter app) I would be using UberTwitter for every day use. Beta 8, release 2,

Twitter for BlackBerry was leaked to the masses back in February, then entered into Beta Zone about a month later, and then became available in the Beta Zone Test Center shortly thereafter.

Icebird, Boxcar Get Notable Updates
about 1 year ago - View Comments
Two apps I have reviewed recently received some interesting updates. First, Boxcar (read my review here) has gone completely free. The application itself isn’t the only thing that costs nothing, individual notification services has made the transformation as well. Boxcar now uses an ad based revenue model, which I unfortunately cannot report on. Those that

I’ve been up and down on this whole thing. Worse, I’ve even considered my own usage patterns and how I could possibly save money by switching. In the meantime, I’ve been on the prowl to gather opinions on the situation. Professional opinions from prominent tech blogs and podcasts still see this as a massive atrocity,
iPhone App Review: Icebird, Like Tweetie With An Extra Side Of Butter
about 1 year ago - View Comments
It’s going to be mighty difficult to write a review for Icebird. This Twitter app looks great, runs powerfully smooth, and is fully featured. BUT!, on all bases, it just doesn’t compare to Twitter’s newly crowned official application. I started using Icebird for about a week or two before the Tweetie 2 flip and I

iPhone App Review: Boxcar, Notifications With Love

I, like many smartphone users, belong to many social networks. I’m not nearly important enough to demand instant updates for the networks I subscribe to, but at the very least, I’ll know exactly how unpopular I am. Yes yes, I don’t get wall posts or @replies often, so when I do, I’d like to know

Sometimes I feel like the a lot of the tiny useful apps for BlackBerry go un-noticed. Well today I’m featuring bit.lify for BlackBerry. I’m sure most of you are familiar with bit.lify or some type of url shortening service. You twitter users probably have a twitter app for BlackBerry with a url shortening tool as

Harriet Tubman. I’d want to see her tweet about what it was like to guide the slaves North to freedom on the Underground Railroad and how it felt to give freedom to so many.
“Several ‘passengers’ kissed the soil after we crossed the border between the Confederacy & the Union. Freedom means the world to them, to us”

If Dexter Morgan actually existed that would be pretty sweet. Get in on his little thoughts.
He could even go by his secret nickname Kyle Butler (if I’m correct?)
