HootSuite has announced a new update to their BlackBerry app complete with new features. I gave the app a try a little while back and didn’t find it to be a suitable replacement for the app I was using on a regular basis but it is looking like now it will be worth a try once again.

The latest build of the app for BlackBerry came out on June 23rd (judging by the date on their blog post) and now adds support for Twitter Lists and Facebook Events. This is in addition to its already enabled support for Facebook Pages & Profiles, Foursquare, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

See below for the change log:

Facebook Search streams – Search all public status updates for your brand or keyword, then save in a stream to track

Facebook Events stream – Keep track of event invitations, manage your RSVPs, and view the guest list and attendee status

Twitter List management – Create or view lists, add or remove people, see who’s listed you, and add lists as a permanent stream

The updated version of HootSuite is available now on their website at the link below - it doesn’t seem to be in App World yet, though.

HootSuite also encourages their users to request features for future builds via their “Feature Request Forum” which is nice to see and always a great touch. I, personally, have suggested the feature of a hashtag “picker” (aka hashtag autocompletion) for Twitter as I find it makes the app SO much more useful and is really one of the things that defines for me whether or not I use a Twitter app.

There is even a special Twitter account for HootSuite for BlackBerry: @HootBerry

You can scan the QR code below or you can find the download link below - both of which will take you to a direct download from the HootSuite site and IS NOT going to download via App World.
