Do You Tumbl?
Aug 17th
In the year 2010, if you don’t have a blog and a Twitter account, you are rapidly falling behind the times. One of the more recent, popular, blogging websites has been “Tumblr” which is what some have dubbed “The ADD of blog sites.”
In all honesty this is a fair description. Users tend to post much shorter blogs with a variety of different media. I have recently made the switch from standard blogging to “Tumbling” and I have enjoyed it quite a bit. One of the bigger positives for me was the ease in which you can post from your iPhone. The official Tumblr app is available in the App Store free of charge, and has all the options you would typically find on the website.
The Dashboard is also viewable, which means all of the other Tumblr blogs you follow are available in mobile view without having to launch Safari. The posts all load quickly and easily, and have the option to send a message to your Twitter account as well.
Most blogging apps on the iPhone are very minimalistic in design and leave much to be desired. Perhaps it is the initial simplicity of Tumblr that allows the app to be so well-rounded, but either way it is a great way to blog while you’re on the go.

Mar 19th
Welcome to his week’s BlackBerry news and rumor roundup!
Let’s start with the most important news of all - CBS Sports has a March Madness app for BlackBerry.
And the best part? It’s free! The only bad part? (ok there’s two) 1) It’s US only and 2) You have to get it in App World. But, if you’re as big a March Madness fan as I am, it’s worth dealing with RIM’s app store.

WordPress and Tumblr Apps for BlackBerry

Xobni Mobile for BlackBerry now available
In what will soon, and easily, become one of the most popular apps on your phone, Xobni is a great tool to make your Contacts list, well, badass. With features like moving your most-used contacts to the top of the list and linking them with LinkedIn and Facebook profiles, this is a great addition for any user - and well worth the $10.

BIS 3.0 rolls out, without 2-way Gmail sync
In very surprising news, BIS 3.0 rolls out lacking a 2-way Gmail sync. I, like most of you, was shocked to find out RIM and the internet giant still aren’t playing nice. Luckily, the guys over at CrackBerry found out that the Gmail sync is still coming, but will be rolled out gradually.
RIM offers Push API’s to developers
Looks like @BritishTurbo‘s Tweetissimo app has sparked some interest from RIM. While he wasn’t mentioned in the articles, the TBZ founder is the only person I’m aware of who currently makes use of Push in a third-party app.
