Verizon's Social Beat app seems to be popping up unwillingly on some devices. It looks like the social networking tool from iskoot is being pushed out by Big Red for users to download. Social Beat has been available for quite some time, and allows you to view all of your social networks and news feeds in one handy app. You can check out Faceobook, Myspace, Gmail, Twitter, Google Talk and a bunch of sports, news and entertainment sites. Its a great way to have everything all in one spot, but the app still needs a bit of polish around the edges. Social Beat is 100% free, but looks to only be available (still) for Verizon Customers. For more information, or if you are a Verizon customer looking to download, head over to iskoot.com/products/social-beat.
