1. Twitter Introduces Universal Search and LinkedIn Gets a New
Design for BB10
The never resting world of Information technology is rapidly growing day by day,
whether it is software developments or hardware inventions, it seems that they
are never saying No to modernism. Here when we talk about innovation and
advancement in the world of IT, we cannot neglect the contribution of social
websites. Twitter which is an online social networking website since 2006, in one
of the 10 most visited websites on the internet. The website has more than 500
million registered users who generate collectively over 300 million tweets daily.
Another name is “LinkedIn”, the website launched in 2003 is a social networking
website used for professional networking. LinkedIn claimed that they have more
than 200 million users from all over the globe.
Twitter and LinkedIn both had their mobile versions for cell phone users. The
websites launched their mobile applications with Android and other operating
systems. Recently both of them updated their smart phone application with
BlackBerry. BlackBerry’s cell phones who are popular for having more advance
and innovative messaging features than other Smartphones, introduced their
first e-mail pager device in 1999. Since then there has been no turning back.
BlackBerry was the first smart phone that focused on Communication via SMS and
email.
Recently BB (blackberry) launched their BB10 and news are that the popular
Twitter and LinkedIn are getting redesigned for the BB users. Twitter introduces
2. “Universal Search” as its main new feature. By “Universal Search” the user can
view search related profiles, top tweets, photos and other relevant search result
on a single page. The process of automatically storing the data (caching) in the
phone’s memory has also improved for this application to provide the user
automatically refreshed pages without the need of refreshing the tabs manually.
The application is available for free download from “World StoreFront”.
Linkedin on the other hand improved the interface of the application. The visual
styling of the application will now allow the users to import the address book
from their BB10 to LinkedIn application. This will make communication easier with
the phone contacts via online social network LinkedIn by finding them on
LinkedIn. The pages that show Companies profiles on LinkedIn will not show
different information about the users and the company, such that the user is
connected through which device, news updates about jobs and available jobs in
any other similar company. Now a Linked in registered member can edit their
Inbox and profile using their smart phone application. “Touch Down” is another
beautiful feature that will allow the user to pull down the feedback items.
This is a second upgrade of Twitter and LinkedIn from BB10. Long story Short,
BB10’s Twitter is now faster and robust with “Automatic Caching Feature”.
Whether they are Profiles, tweets or photos, now you will see the abrupt search
results displaying on a single page!. However LinkedIn features basic upgrades
that are; synchronizing contacts with LinkedIn, better visual interface, easy editing
and display of more information about companies. Thus we can say that BB10
presents a fresh and crisper look of Twitter and LinkedIn!. The users of BB10 will
obviously explore these features after all we all love to make our lives easier with
technology.
