Twitter from your Blackberry with TwitterBerry

by Chris Gilmer Dec 14th 2007

If you are an avid Twitter user, and have a BlackBerry tucked away in your pocket, you have a few options to keep your followers updated whilst on the go. You can visit the Twitter mobile site at http://m.twitter.com, or you can use a new application on the market called TwitterBerry.

TwitterBerry is a mobile client for Blackberry users to post updates on Twitter. It supports popular BlackBerry devices including the 8800 line and 8700 line as well as the Pearl and Curve. To get the application loaded, you can either download it or transfer it via USB, or via a download link on your BB. It's simple to use, and avoids the time required to fire up a browser and enter a URL. You can watch updates roll in from friends, view the public timeline and update your status without waiting for Twitters form field to load.

If you are still looking at starting up your own Twitter account, or wondering how to use your Twitter account effectively? Chris Brogan has a very useful Newbies Guide to Twitter that will walk you through using it as a social network and as a way for personal branding.

This is hardly new. I used it up until a couple of months ago and while it's nice, it didn't always update or display timelines, saying "Nothing found".

If you have a Blackberry, it's much easier to use Google Talk to send your tweets, and about just as easy to read them.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
