Blackberry App Must Haves – Part 3 - Social Networking And Music Apps By Pat Munro At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

By now most everyone knows and uses a social networking site i.e. Facebook, Twitter or Myspace. With BlackBerry, there are several different applications for your smartphone which will give your network the right specific connections, and stay in touch to be entertained.

Social networking Apps

Life260 – This is a free specialized neighborhood social networking app which keeps users up to date with their local community and family. Users of this app can receive emergency alerts, and send notices out to people in the area. It helps you to get to know your neighbors through block party invites, lost pets, etc.

Wertago – This free application is geared towards people who enjoy late nights, and club crawls. This social network application lets people coordinate social events for different clubs, restaurants, and theatres as well as rate hotspots, create personalized profiles for others in order to share stories, pics, ratings and details all in real time. This program uses Google Maps API to map out the different haunts.

ShoZu – This app makes sending your BlackBerry pictures to social networking sites fast and easy. Each time you take a picture or record video, you will be asked to which social networking sites you want to upload to. ShoZu for BlackBerry allows you to add titles and descriptions to your photos before sending them.

TuneWiki – This app is open source music based social network. It allows users to share what they are listening to with others, using Google Maps to find others around the world who share similar music interests. It plays audio and video for each song while lyrics scroll by on your screen, and makes a virtual library of your music to link up to the internet.

Music Apps

Pandora for BlackBerry – If you are not already aware of this free app, download it now. It is the best streaming music site since the web went mobile. Pandora matches your music tastes with new artists you might like, and sets up music lists, play lists and new artists for your particular tastes. Just start with the name of your favorite songs or artists and Pandora will create a ‘station’ which plays all the music and more like it. You may never listen to your homemade play lists again.

Slacker Radio – Normally, you have two options when listening to music on the go, until now. With this app you can set up play lists, transfer music from memory cards or listen to Slacker, which is hooked up to your web account and gives an unlimited supply of new tunes. It has a few commercials, but where else could you get surprises from your favorite DJs. You can also cache channels to be listened to when you can’t find a signal.

SplashPlay – You can download this app and learn to play any instrument in a snap. It is a new way to learn, create and share music on your BlackBerry with a real instrument. Each tutorial is created by established musicians, and it’s free.

Guitar Hero World Tour Mobile – No must have app music list would be complete without your own personal mobile Guitar Hero on your BlackBerry. It costs $9.99, and is completely worth it if you are already a fan. Just imagine ripping up the skins or shredding the strings while you’re on a coffee break.
