Twitter users are now free to access these microbloging services through a smartphone by using a number of third-party applications such UberTwitter, Viigo, or Snaptu. But, for special BlackBerry, Research In Motion (RIM) will release a Twitter application for BlackBerry.
The application is in beta version now, but it already can be used at this time. However, it can be downloaded and used by a particular user who received a special invitation to try it.
“Twitter for BlackBerry smartphones will soon be available for download, so you can do all your favorites on Twitter,” RIM statement on its website.
It has complete features such as Twitter update information, send private messages, reply tweet, re-tweet, follow friends, and do a searching. You can even send link directly from the BlackBerry browser, upload photos, and join in the discussion.
Facebook application problems that can not be worked on BlackBerry had complained from users throughout the world. Facebook acknowledges that it happens because there is a problem in the API (application programming interface) that developers use to build applications.
“We have a problem with our API so that multiple users can not access the current through the device. API is designed so that partners can provide the operator a solid Facebook application. We’re still trying to resolve the issue as soon as possible,” that was the statement from Facebook Erictric site.
As the display changes in its web version, Facebook is releasing a new version of the API through their developer blogs. API changes are probably not directly followed by Research In Motion (RIM) on his BlackBerry service.
However, some users reported that the Facebook application on BlackBerry is working again starting Thursday afternoon. In fact, it looks little changed with the addition if the update status icons with links to specific sites, such as YouTube icon if there is a link to a video sharing site in the news feed menu.

Facebook Connect itself finally been put to use in the year 2008 as well. At least now there are 80,000 websites that have been integrated with Facebook Connect and Facebook 60 million users already use this feature. For many of these third-party websites, this feature is very helpful for users who want to register or log on their website.
Facebook Connect is very attractive for many small sites, although this feature is very easy to implement. By using it, they can create some widgets that bring direct Facebook features can be enjoyed by a third-party website with very easy integration.
Last year, Twitter has launched a button which allows users of third-party website to website Twitter login and identify themselves, as in the system for comment.
Twitter This new product will be able to authenticate the user, retrieve data and then displays them on Twitter. There is now a special API for this feature which seems to be rather like Facebook Connect.
Apparently between Facebook and Twitter even be competitors but would continue to complement each other and mutual hanky-dig to become the number one in his class.

Forty years ago, said Leonard Kleinrock never imagined the “explosion” of Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube. At that time, he and his team had “given birth” what is later called the Internet.
“We were very surprised with the variety of emerging applications,” said Kleinrock. He and his colleagues from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) to prepare a birthday celebration to the Internet 40, Thursday (29/10).
“The Internet has become a teenager now. He had learned something, but still must continue to learn, “he said in San Francisco, Saturday (24/10).
On October 29, 1969, Kleinrock led a team which can make a computer “talk” with others in the research section.
Kleinrock driven by the belief that computers are designed to be able to talk to one another to produce a simple network, such as the use of the phone.
Key in the exchange of data between one computer and another computer is to solve the digital code and make it as separate packages.
He has outlined his vision in his master’s dissertation, and even publish in a book. “However, no one cares, especially AT & T,” Kleinrock said.
Supported by military
AT & T is the company’s telephone service providers, both local and long distance calls in the U.S. the largest. “I do presentations, but they say that the idea will not be realized. In fact, if it can happen, they do not want to do anything, “he said.
However, AT & T provides a path that connects the computer to the ARPANET. This is a project supported by the U.S. military.
Experiment fails to connect initially ARPANET. Kleinrock team tries to send data between computers on the ARPANET and successful. A total of two computers at two other universities are also connected at the end of 1969. This is the initial impression of the growing Internet.
