How to Use Twitterberry

Owning a Blackberry has many perks. Yes it is a phone, but you can also read your e-mail and use many different applications to keep up with your life on the run. One of these applications is for the Twitter web service. It is called Twitterberry. You can update your status and keep up with your friends without getting the barrage of text messages you would get just by having updates sent to your phone. It is really easy to download and use, and it is must have for many Blackberry owners.

Of course the first thing you need to do is download the application. Open up your phone's browser and go to the Orangatame website. It will ask you if you want to download the application. Click on the link. Your phone will take you through the rest of the download process. Follow the prompts and let your phone reboot. Once the phone is up and running again the Twitterberry icon will be in your menu.

Scroll to the icon and click on it. Once the application loads it will ask you for your Twitter user name and password. Key those in and if you want to, check the box to have it always remember you. This way it will automatically log you in when you want to use the application.

The first screen that loads up will be white and will have "What are you doing?" across the very top. You can key in your Tweet on this screen. It works the same as writing a text message, just type and then press the trackball. Select Update from the pop up menu, and your Tweet will be sent. Once the Tweet has posted you will see a Success box. Press your trackball to clear this message.

Tweets aren't the only thing you can do with Twitterberry. You can also see your friends timeline. From that opening screen press the trackball. Pick the option for Friends Timeline. Once that page has loaded up you can highlight the tweets to send replies or direct messages. Once the tweet is highlighted, press the menu button. That will bring up a menu and you can pick your option from there.

Don't forget to check your own replies and Direct Messages. Go back to the start up screen and press the menu button. This menu allows you to choose to read your replies, and you sent and received direct messages. Once you have selected which action you want, the page will load. These screens work much like the Friends Timeline. Click the item to highlight it. Then press the menu button for more options.
