In Case You Missed It:
NFL Mobile For VZW - Starting last week the updated NFL Mobile app was being pushed to Verizon Bold 9650 users. The app has the same guts as in previous years but adds in some features to keep things fresh. While it rings in at a whopping 2.8MB download, it does pack quite a punch if you're at all a fan of the NFL. You can get breaking news, highlights, video on demand and more. Follow the preseason with stats and updates all the way to kickoff. When the season starts, NFL Mobile brings live video and audio as well as the RedZone Fantasy Tracker. Verizon 9650 users should see a download icon pop up if you haven't already.

Molson Canadian Seize The Summer - To call it a unique app would be a lie, but to call it a bushel of awesome is the total truth. If you plan on rocking out this summer, you'll need to have the Molson Canadian Seize the Summer app along for the ride. While it's pretty much the closest thing to foursquare since foursquare, this app wants you to share your love of summer and earn badges along the way. You can earn a "Summer Awesomeness Badge" for doing summer stuff like mountain biking, road trips, seeing a moose, doing a cannonball or my personal favorite "barbeque a variety of meats".
Each badge is in turn posted to your Facebook page so your friends know just how much cool stuff you do over the summer. During the course of earning badges you'll also be entered to win an "amazing trip" so at least you have some incentive to go big or go home. Check out the video above for more, then download the app from the link below to get started.

Contest:
This week, I bring to you an exclusive contest. A new Twitter client has been on the rise over the past little bit and while it's thus far maintained a very small beta group they have opened up the doors to allow me to offer 5 of you all out there an invite to try out Blaq™. As described on their blog:
Tired of keeping a handful of Twitter apps around on your BlackBerry smartphone just to obtain a faux sense of having it all? We are, too.
Never before has a BlackBerry Twitter client truly satisfied the user’s ideal picture of the perfect, well-rounded app — until now.
Enter Blaq™ — a feature-rich Twitter client for BlackBerry that brings the best of all worlds with the functionality you need, but also the stunning visuals that you’ve always yearned for.
Keep your eyes glued here, the official blog of Blaq™, for important news and updates on when you can expect to start experiencing Twitter — the way you should be — on a BlackBerry smartphone near you.
With the details outlined, before entering this contest a few things you should consider are:
- You must be a Twitter user or be at least interested in starting up a Twitter account.
- Keep in mind this is a beta release, the developers are looking for feedback. Have an issue? Wanna see something added? Send feedback. Feedback helps make better apps. Keep that in mind.
And thats about it folks, if you fit in that area then by all means, please leave some comments and we'll pick 5 of you all to participate in the beta. Having used every Twitter app out there, I'll personally say Blaq™ is a great app that shows an exponential amount of promise. The folks working on Blaq™ are great and totally open to new ideas on how to make it the best Twitter client available. Good luck to everyone who decides to enter.

Wes83 Jul 30, 2010 at 5:34 pm
I've been annoying @Hamrick (and @kfow35) for quite some time now. I think i'm just about ready for the app now. Would love to be able to positively stalk them with feedback, which i'm pretty good at if I say myself :P

mingus007 Jul 30, 2010 at 5:55 pm
Have to maintain 2 business Twitter accounts and 2 personal ones (one public, and one for private pursuits and strictly "info in"). Ran the gauntlet with BB4T being the primary. Seesmic oversees the other business accounts. Tinkered with the last two iterations of Ubertwitter (only to remove b/c of the memory leak/power drain, as well as not "tagging" as fast as I've noticed of the other two). TweetGenius wasn't all I thought it might be, and the other precursor apps have pretty much fallen to the wayside...
It's a pain in the butt.
If I get a say in how a potential "newcomer" (I realize it's been in closed beta for some time), then huzzah to that. I'd LOVE to ditch "all but one" and spare myself some system RAM in the process.
* System notifications (customizable through profiles)
* Multiple accounts
* Easy on the battery
* Speedy updating
These are where one or the other falls flat. If Blaq addresses these and looking to improve, I'm ready to find other things to "complain" about! :)
Maybe you can't have it all, but you can damn well try!
Brandon 8ch Jul 30, 2010 at 5:56 pm
Looks cool. Put me on the guest list
bondapher Jul 30, 2010 at 5:56 pm
Blaq!! I want you! Let's hope I win
Fraja1983 Jul 30, 2010 at 5:57 pm
I don't know why, but I'm obssesed with Twitter apps. I run Ubertwitter, Twitter for Blackberry, SocialScope and Tweetissimo on my BlackBerry at the same time. It sucks my battery dry, but it's worth it.
I've been reading about Blaq for a while now and would love to try it. Maybe it can become my single Twitter client.
motoroid7 Jul 30, 2010 at 5:58 pm
I am a twitter user and would love to help beta test with Blaq while giving my opinions and satisfaction I'm getting out of it. I use twitter a lot on my mobile phone, as I've been away from home longer than I usually am. I hope I'm one of the lucky people to get picked!
LukeRoz Jul 30, 2010 at 6:00 pm
I love twitter and this one looks sweet!! PICK ME PLEASE!!!!
Pootermobile Jul 30, 2010 at 6:00 pm
According to what I've read and heard of Blaq it is a very nice twitter app. I'd sure like to check it out :)

Really hope I win. Rest of these Twitter apps really don't just work. Would love to try a new one. I use Twitter to follow all my favorite blogs. Easy way to keep track and get a quick link to the posts I want to read.
emanwis#cb Jul 30, 2010 at 6:05 pm
Would love to win a spot on the beta team.

I would love to win an invite to Blaq. I've tried may of the Twitter clients out there and would love to geive this one a shot. Good and bad points to all out there. Hopefully Blaq takes the best of them all.
connorse Jul 30, 2010 at 6:44 pm
Color me interested in Blaq. Socialscope is pretty good, but I'd love to see what sort of improvements can be made.
Plus, given SS's track record, Blaq will probably be the first to see a public release.
Jay_eS_Iye Jul 30, 2010 at 6:46 pm
I'm a diehard Ubertwitter guy but Blaq has gotten me wondering if better is out there.. Please prove me right
jasper0201 Jul 30, 2010 at 6:52 pm
#FTW I want that Blaq. If I don't win i suppose that would be a #fail. lol ok ok. I hope I win. @jthrift
bigbuda Jul 30, 2010 at 6:53 pm
I live on twitter and I need to win this since Social Scope hasnt and I think will ever send me a invite its been sent to differnt emails and tried to contact them NO LUCK! So its time yo try something else
onyxblack Jul 30, 2010 at 6:54 pm
I would love to beta test this! Although I love Social Scope and have a love/hate relationship with the other Twitter clients (they all have something I either love or hate or just can't be bothered), I would love to test drive a new client. Being a long time Twitter member (signed up in 2007), this would definetly be sweet!
dariddler Jul 30, 2010 at 6:59 pm
that would be awesome to try the new beta for twitter, and get the chance to see all the improvements that have been made an how all the tools have been but together into one so you wouldn't have to have all the other apps. just to seem like you have them all...i hope i get chosen to test it out an give my input an test it out..

after using the Twitter for Blackberry and Übertwitter, something new would be a treat - both great clients, but the memory leaks are questionable. I'd love to try a new client
MRCUR Jul 30, 2010 at 8:05 pm
Having been gone from the BB scene for a while, but still observing the development of Blaq, I'm extremely excited for it. I fully plan on getting a 9780 when it launches and would LOVE to have Blaq on it!

lievrouw Jul 30, 2010 at 8:47 pm
I have done beta testing for many of the theme and application developers here in the CrackBerry community and I'm also an avid Twitter user. I would love to beta test Blaq for and if selected would provide a substantial amount of high quality useful feedback.
Pick me!

me please as,i have been hearing alot about this Blaq app.
a_silent_song Jul 30, 2010 at 9:34 pm
I would love to win Blaq, especially since SocialScope has apparently made it clear to me they are less than willing to work with visually impaired people on making their app more accessible. I'd love to start testing it to give feedback where it might actually be appreciated.

That's the kind of twitter I need down on my team, lol. I would love to have Blaq! I have SocialScope, TweetGenius, Twitter for Blackberry and UberTwitter. I am a big twitter user and would love to experience for myself all of the great things that I have been hearing!

What a funny name for a Twitter Clinet. I've been on twitter as gort999 for quite awhile and have had Twitter clients for both Blackberry and Android. Twitdroid and Ubertwitter are the two I have used the most, but I'm always looking for a better Twitter client. Tweetdesk serves me well on my computer. I am looking forward to blaq and see what it has to offer over the other Twitter client.
robkd Jul 30, 2010 at 11:18 pm
It sounds very promising and I'm looking for a Twitter client that can do a bit more on the BlackBerry.
joeshark Jul 30, 2010 at 11:21 pm
Blaq pleeeease.
callmeforge Jul 30, 2010 at 11:22 pm

Gaston Jul 30, 2010 at 11:55 pm
I would love to test Blaq. I already follow the guys on Twitter...so at least now I could tell them about bugs and awesomeness! :)
Finza Jul 31, 2010 at 12:03 am
I've been following the progress of Blaq for a while and this would be my 22nd attempt to get a beta invite. Pick me..22nd time's the charm??

the apps you mentioned in the post are cool...may be some!
dmann96 Jul 31, 2010 at 1:42 am
Not begging but close. Tried to score this on Twitter and lucked out. Would love to beta test this app!
shogunvk Jul 31, 2010 at 2:29 am

Would LOVE to win a Blaq invite! Heavy Twitter user here... have defaulted to UberTwitter on my 'Berry as it seems to fit my needs the best, but have noticed that I'm missing updates and it's getting reeeeeaaallly frustrating! Need something better.
tonto05 Jul 31, 2010 at 2:50 am
I won!!!! Lol
Enter me again, could always use a new BETA to try

Manila_Ice Jul 31, 2010 at 3:33 am
I love my socialscope app and find it the best by far so would like to see if blaq can beat that. I also have twitter for BlackBerry (so disappointing) and Ubertwitter as backup but very rarely use as socialscope rarely fails. Please could I have an invite to blaq
dprovi Jul 31, 2010 at 3:50 am
I've used twixtreme, seesmic, ubertwitter, Twitter for BB, I've downloaded 2 other twitter apps (though I can't remember their names, but they were part of the twitter client review done on CB). Having used so many twitter clients and being a current beta tester for several programs in RIM's beta zone I think taking on another beta test should be fine as well as fun. So count me in.
miloszz Jul 31, 2010 at 4:22 am
I'm jumping from Twitter for BlackBerry to UberTwitter, always looking for something good for me. I'd love to gove this app a try! :D
hakeem23 Jul 31, 2010 at 5:39 am

KPMcClave Jul 31, 2010 at 10:36 am
Another great contest. Thanks as always, guys.
If Blaq is as dark as it seems (and judging from its name I am assuming it is) , I am going to love it at first sight. I am a big fan of Ubertwitter and really like the one stop shopping aspect of SocialScope, but the uniqueness of having the dark look of Blaq (a reverse contrast I highly prefer and one that is really hard to find, generally) could make it my new fave Twitter app. That would be high praise.
So, yeah, I'd love to Beta Test it.
antharris88 Jul 31, 2010 at 11:03 am
Hi I've just joined crackberry.com :) I hope I win as that would be a pretty good welcome gift, I love blackberry and blaq sounds like it would shut those annoying apple fanboys up lol. I have lots of time to give feedback and currently doing testing for RIM so really hope I win a invite. Would make my day :)
DrLouie Jul 31, 2010 at 11:06 am
Blaq looks cool. I would love to try it out, especially if it allows multiple account to login simultaneously.
rushmoore Jul 31, 2010 at 11:20 am

I love trying out new things. Would love to get a copy of Blaq to try out. Like Bla1ze I've tried out every other Twitter client for BlackBerry one more won't hurt.
BBBBlackberryIsTheWord Jul 31, 2010 at 8:24 pm

Hope I get picked.

lonestar1135 Jul 31, 2010 at 8:29 pm
I would love to help out. This looks great, and I've been following for a little while now. I can give a lot of time and a lot of feedback, using all twitter apps BB has had I think I've got a pretty good handle on things. Using SocialScope now and I hope Blaq can turn into a Twitter alternative for me.
Thanks.
bangala Jul 31, 2010 at 8:31 pm
Lord have mercy. Let me get this one :-)
t3uf Jul 31, 2010 at 8:58 pm
Since being out of work with 2 broken wrists from a mosh pit I have nothing but time to test new twitter apps since that's all I do is sit on twitter all day.
JM4G1C Jul 31, 2010 at 9:44 pm
I think it's quite possible that I've dabbled in just about every Blackberry Twitter client there is(save for that mysterious SocialScope), so it would be nice to make it somewhat 'official' to be a tester for Blaq. If not I'll just wait for it to leak and rush to MegaUpload/RapidShare/(random file-sharing sit) like everyone else does when it finally does get out.. teehee. :)
wfubball Aug 2, 2010 at 2:45 am
good luck! Its got 2 registration codes and a password that is changed by the developer every day in order to start it :)
tfrankson Jul 31, 2010 at 11:29 pm

MADBRADNYC Aug 1, 2010 at 10:42 am
If it's good enough, or can become good enough!
I have UberTwitter, SocialScope, T4BB, and Vodaphone Update installed. I love certain things of each, but the total size of all the loads seems to be killing my device memory. I want to replace everything with one that DOES everything. #Blaq!
gsilvau Aug 1, 2010 at 10:52 am
I'd love to beta test
mikelanding Aug 1, 2010 at 12:03 pm

CaliCat Aug 1, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Already left a comment, but since then have discovered that UberTwitter isn't updating tweets from all my friends' timelines! MAJOR FAIL! Have tried several Twitter clients and finally settled on UT as best for my needs, but can't live with this.
Have several ideas/feedback as a beta tester: I like that UT has max tweets in timeline of 2k so keep it high like that, and max tweets to DL of at least 100 at a time; don't delete the oldest in the timeline if they haven't been read yet; open the timeline to where we left off (last tweet read) instead of last tweet DL'd; and, nice feature would be ability to choose only specific people we follow on Twitter to DL their updates to mobile app.
Also: I'm a beta tester for ***. :)
PICK ME PLEASE! :)))
Pathtek4 Aug 1, 2010 at 2:05 pm

RickyRoss10 Aug 2, 2010 at 4:12 pm
I'd love a chance to test Blaq. I've used every possible Twitter app for the BB (seriously, all of them) and nothing quite has what I'm looking for, leaving me running 2 (currently Tweetissimo and UberTwitter) at all times.
@princeofsfg
geekshui Aug 2, 2010 at 6:06 pm
As a self-confessed Twitter junkie and recent defector to a BB 9700 after several years on the iPhone, I'm still searching for that perfect Twitter client for BlackBerry that compares to what I had in Tweetie 2/Twitter for iPhone. I don't tweet just to talk. I tweet to promote a personal brand, via Geek Shui Living. As a result, my list of requirements is long and ultimately not easy to satisfy. UberTwitter, Twitter for BlackBerry, Tweet Genius and Seesmic have all fallen short for reasons to numerous to go into here. Currently, I'm on SocialScope. It's the best I've found thus far, but, to be honest, it's still missing that little something. So, now, I'm hopeful that Blaq has found that magic formula that separates regular Twitter clients from Legendary Twitter clients. I've heard great things thus far and would love to have a crack at it. Of course, I can provide some valuable, constructive feedback, as someone who has used more than 15 different clients across multiple OSes. Select me for addition to the beta program, and I assure you will not be disappointed. Thanks!
Knockz Aug 2, 2010 at 6:14 pm
Would love to get in on the Blaq Beta.

I've already followed them on twitter, and I follow you Bla1ze, that has to show my excellent twitter choices :)
@dannymac77

Another SocialScope user interested to see if Blaq can replace it as my go to Twitter app. Hopefully the folks at Blaq are more responsive to feedback than the SocialScope crew.

I'm a big Twitter user and I'm tired of all the clients I currently use because none seem to satisfy my needs.
I've been trying to get a Socialscope invite for months with no luck.
I'd love to try out this app and I'd be more than willing to offer feedback to the developers.
Pick me please!
lpstreetsoldierm Aug 9, 2010 at 9:33 pm
I feel like I'd be stuck in between Blaq and UberTwitter. I'm hoping its able to compete.

Hi,
I would like to try Blaq™.
Currently, I use SocialScope and search for a long time a better Twitter client.
