SocialScope is Back! New features and invites coming soon…
I’ve been using SocialScope since it launched in early beta a long time ago, and ever since then I was always curious to know whats going on with them. Well if you’re a regular SocialScope user and abuser you know that they’ve been a little quiet lately, until the past week or so. It seems they are back in full force with the launch of a new update, which has been released to most SocialScope users. It seems SocialScope plans to finally compete with other Twitter clients like: Twitter for BlackBerry, UberTwitter, and Blaq – which looks pretty insane as well.
The new version of SocialScope (.129) brings:
- Full Facebook Experience: We’ve upped our Facebook experience 1000x with Facebook Friends list, Facebook pages, Full Facebook Profiles, Private Messages and Notifications. SocialScope is the best way to use Facebook on your BlackBerry.
- Inbox Integration: Powerful inbox integration allows you to select exactly which messages appear in your BlackBerry inbox.
- Mute: Tired of hearing from a user, application(farmville!) or topic? Now you can block those updates.
- Reduced Battery Usage: We’ve tuned, tweaked and optimized SocialScope to dramatically reduced battery usage. The most powerful social networking app now also the most power efficient.
- Interface Tweaks: SocialScope is faster and easier to use. We’ve made interface tweaks through out the app based on your feedback.
- Invites (coming later this week!): You’ve been asking for a way to share SocialScope with your friends and we’ll be delivering that later this week.
- Lots of Bug Fixes: We went bug hunting and fixed many issues including url shirking, removing Twitter accounts and location lookup.

Pandora has let another update out of the Pandora’s box, so we highly recommend you update now. If you haven’t tried Pandora, give it a try, it’s free internet radio!
