CrackBerry Poll: Do you use Social Feeds in BlackBerry 6?

RSS Feeds only, especially for financial times and some other analysts sites. The summary of facebook, twitter, bbm etc. is in my eyes just rubbish and totaly confusing..

only for twitter and RSS feeds

I would love yo use it, if it didn't kill my battery. And the same goes for bbm groups, I have to turn the notifications off so they don't drain my battery.

I kinda like the social feeds except that the amount of messages is limited to only a few. Unless i'm missing something, i get only an hour or so of feeds displayed.

I use it most for the RSS which is (almost) on par with Viigo. All in all i wouldn't say i love it, but i like it all together.

I still have Viigo installed though for weather data and the great customisable / searchable RSS feed ability.

I love it for rss feeds. Sometimes my twitter gets cluttered with friends sting, magazines, etc...the rss eliminates the clutter and keeps me to my news only. Love it.

I did at first and it was and still is a nice feature.. Its just got annoying for me with it's constant updating and alerting every signal time somebody updated or posted something..SO i removed it

with it u have to check 2 places to get the same notification. for that i didn't like it. good concept poor execution. I'll stick with social scope

i don't use social feeds because it does not work with UberTwitter.

I didn't see the point of it at first, but I'm starting to use it more. I use BerryReader as my main RSS app, but use the Social Feeds RSS Reader for my most important feeds. Things such as Breaking News in my area, and Traffic Updates. I like the speed of how it scrolls through Facebook and Twitter feeds. The Facebook app scrolls a tad slower. I'll use the Social Feed app if I want to quickly scroll through feeds. Just with it would allow me to view additional feeds. A View More button of some sort would be nice.

mainly as an RSS feed. But it is good when you want to tweet and facebook the same thing. Also, its handy for when you just want to check a quick update on statuses, etc.

No. I use Berry Reader for my rss feeds and use Twitter and FB separately. The execution is poor as someone else mentioned. No point in it at this time for me.

I just wonder what percentage of CrackBerry members are even on OS 6 at this point? I'm still rocking 4.6 on my Bold 9000, too stubborn to move to 5 because it seems to be working well enough for me at this point.

Still waiting for a QNX BlackBerry with the 9000 form-factor. Patiently.

I wipe my BB often when I install new OS or Hybrids and RSS, and I haven't found a way to backup my RSS feed yet. This leaves me with re inputing all my RSS feeds AGAIN, to the point I don't bother. when all my feeds are in the device, the RSS feeds are nice to have, otherwise I only use FB and it just becomes redundant to have. I do turn off notifications and only update when I open the app that saves on battery.

Hmm I actually really like social feeds. I would be happy w/ OS5 if it had socialfeeds. I just cant make myself pay for berryreader. or anything like that.

I only use it for FB as far as social networks go. But different RSS feeds on it including CB.com so I really enjoy that part of it. I think it was a much needed feature for BB.

I need more than one Twitter act. As long as they have that restriction, I'll pass. Also, I prefer BerryReader for RSS because it connects to Google Reader. Finally, I won't even touch BB Podcasts because I appreciate the hard work Versatile Monkey put into Podtrapper.

I deleted Social Feeds because it was redundant and I perceived it a battery drain. Then, I got an invite to SocialScope and deleted native FB, FourSquare, and Twitter apps.

SocialFeeds is the main reason why first installed OS6 on my Bold 9700. I just wish it would connect to GoogleReader.

I would use it if it had a 'read' indicator and you could filter by unread only...

social feeds only for bbm and windows live messenger (do not use it much on my bb)... i prefer socialscope for twitter, facebook and foursquare :)

I used to use it sparingly. However, these days I don't use it all, because it has disapeared and I don't know what happened...

*shrugs*

I use News Feeds instead. Social Feed although was nicer, it frozed on me too often.

Definitely not... Drains the battery & its annoying!!!

I use it to check my facebook and twitter and to update my statuses in one spot instead of having to go to two diffrent apps and type the same thing. I also use it for the rss reader since its free and it works well for my updates on music festivals, sports, crackberry, local news , and financial news. I just disabled the notifications for it so that I don't get something everytime someone post something and I chose when I want the feeds to be refreshed.

I use it and filter to separate the sections

Don't use it. FB is the only social app I use, so the actual app itself is all I need. I use the news reader for RSS feeds which seemed easier to configure anyway.

I do use Social Feeds, but don't have it active all the time - I tend to close most apps when not using them - so I haven't noticed the battery drain issues. It's great in terms of sharing stuff quickly with anyone on Twitter/Facebook or in my address book.

Hell no, god I hate Facebook so much...is there a Hate button for Facebook? Or funnier yet a Hate Facebook Facebook group...HAHAHAHAHA!

No. I don't use Facebook or twitter. I use the BlackBerry news feeds app. It was free on app world. Does what I need for news feeds.

Facebook,twitter, RSS

Having the option to log into the networks directly, have them show up in your message list, read from social feeds and then deal with the  overalerting you...I found more comfort having evrything show up in my message list rather than social feeds. Until the kinda recent release of  RSS feeds, its was the only thing I used it for. I've attempted several times to make better use of it but would always become annoyed or found it redundant.

No because Boost Mobile doesn't have Blackberry 6 yet :(

But only because the .424 leak my facebook Cursor is gone. And instead of losing patience I have adapted to the social feeds feature. Its ok. Would like to loose the Blue bar highlight, other than that its fine at first glance

I never had it on my blackberry bold 9700. Do you have to download it on desktop manager. Perhaps you need to have it check marked as one of the applications to go not your phone. Because from the first os6 leak I got, it was never there. Can someone help me please.

I deleted that app a while ago... Its too extra bs that's not needed... In my own opinion that is. I would rather have the feeds seperated.

For what rss was created for rss, when compared to twitter it does rss better but twitter I only use for critical alerts but the rss in the bb os torch is sweet and batter drain is no excuse. Like facebook I'm sure folks can tell you everything that's good about it, so why not the good on this feature, well you can set social feeds to only alert you with the availability of new feeds only when you choose to see them which will have the same effect as any other app that runs in the bg and most of all its only when you choose to use it, it will do so. It does what it does right for the most part and reading crackberry in the feeds app is just the same as the site so for a quick run down on what's posted on crackberry this app is nice. Twitter does not display crackberry lists like how social feeds does. I hope it sticks around for in the future.
