BlackBerry is sponsoring this years Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest which means plenty of BlackBerry love will be coming your way on New Year's Eve. Loads of you are plotting out your resolutions for the new year, and more often than not you like to keep them to yourself. Well this year you have a chance at showing the world (or at least the people in Times Square) your resolution. The folks at BlackBerry want to know your #BeBold resolution for 2012. For your chance to show up on the Times Square billboard, just send your resolution to Twitter with the #BeBold hashtag.

• Send your resolution to @BlackBerry on Twitter® using the #BeBold hashtag
• Your #BeBold resolution just might make it onto a Times Square billboard and be broadcast on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest. 

That's all there is to it. So get to thinking on just what you'll be asking for the new year and send off your Tweets. Maybe yours will be shown off to the massive crowds tomorrow night.

Seriously, where did 2011 go? I know people say it every year, but I swear I blinked and 6 months flew by. The new year is just a few days away, which means everyone is getting set to party like it's 1999. (People still do that, right?) The biggest party of them all takes place in New York City, where since 1972 Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve has been held (with Ryan Seacrest as co-host since 2005). Along with performances by various singers/performers, the show provides live coverage of the dropping of the Times Square Ball in NYC's Times Square.

This is a big year for the show, as it's the 40th year it's been shown and since it's on a Saturday, the show will run for 5 1/2 hours including pre-show. This year, we are happy to hear that the show is being sponsored by BlackBerry! What better time and place to see the BlackBerry name? A new year, the new #BeBold slogan, and millions of viewers across America tuned in, ready for the fresh start that only a new year can bring. Word on the street is that BlackBerry will be running some Tweets on the big board in Times Square, so stayed tuned for updates on that as well.

How are you celebrating the new year? Will you be home watching Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest sponsored by BlackBerry (wow that's a mouthful), or do you have plans to go out? If you're brave enough to actually go to Times Square for the big event, be sure to snap some pictures and send them in!

Congratulations, you made it to 2010! With any luck, your BlackBerry survived as well. If not, go out and purchase another one. You're going to need it this year, as it's going to help you keep the resolutions you made. It looks like both RIM and I came up with ideas of which apps to look out for (I think we agreed on only one). It's time to start following through on the promises you made to yourself and your BlackBerry is waiting to lend you a hand. After the jump, you will find a list of common resolutions and application solutions. Maybe you have others that we haven't considered. If that's the case, let everyone know what you use to help keep yours a success.
