TwitterBerry To Grow Beyond Twitter - Becomes OpenBeak
Posted in BlackBerry Apps on 14 Nov 2009 12:58 by Adam Zeis | 18 comments

OpenBeak

Long lasting Twitter client TwitterBerry has been rebranded OpenBeak. The new title allows the app to grow beyond the Twitter platform in the future and expand to other areas. Twitterberry is one of the most well known Twitter clients for BlackBerry, but has been overshadowed as of late with the influx of new clients. Perhaps OpenBeak will step up with some new features that will get it back in the running. Current TwitterBerry users will be prompted to upgrade to OpenBeak, but if you're looking to try it out for the first time, head to m.openbeak.com from your device to give it a whirl.

I stopped caring about TwitterBerry months ago when I realized a) it sucked and b) a new version was never going to come.

Long live UberTwitter!

I downloaded, but had network error issues. Then I tried to delete the app but it still is on my home screen. App bug or browser bug, u decide. UBERTWITTER ALLDAY!

Just downloaded, and every time I try to open the app it freezes my tour. Only thing that helps is a battery pull/reboot. This thing is getting deleted ASAP!! (Once my bb reboots!!)

it slowed down my tour like crazy..im sticking with ubertwitter.

Nothing like Ubertwitter. No trends or search feature. Deleted it.

i have beejiveIM for chat it made perfect sense for me to have tweetgenius. i think twitterberry has a long way to go!!!!! if it going to even try compete with other more stable twitter clients..wtf a name change - are you kidding me ROFL!

Thought I'd give it a try. Installed, tried to view public timeline and my phone reboots lol. I'll stick with Socialscope :p

Twitterberry.... OpenBreak.... OpenBeak??

Who really cares?

Regardless of what they try to call it, this is one app that NEVER REALLY WORKED!

QED... Period... End of story!!

UberTwitter all the way.

(Just my own opinion, by the way)

my twitterberry works perfectly fine and always has :) i wont be trying out openbeak because i hate the name! dont really see why they are changing it.

By: samgbx | Date: Sun, 11/15/2009 - 09:52

ok i caved and decided to download it, once i did i tried to open it, it froze and then after a while went back to my home screen! rebooting and trying again :)

By: bmwtech | Date: Sun, 11/15/2009 - 09:58

LOL. I agree that the name is terrible. I ran Twitterberry for a long time and it was OK, no issues. Recently I decided that with SMS updates turned on I dont really need a Twitter client consuming precious memory on my Curve. Twitter mobile site works fine for me for as often as I need to use it.

YOU WANT SOCIAL SCOPE...

I won't be downloading OpenBeak, just because it sounds like it has a lot of issues. I still have TwitterBerry, I admit I don't use it much now that I have SocialSpark, but TwitterBerry was the first big and useful Twitter client. Just saying, everyone is taking a big crap on it, but I remember when it was the only big player in town.

By: Natebw | Date: Mon, 11/16/2009 - 21:51

The only reason I have TwitterBerry on my Curve is that I manage multiple accounts and it is easier to tweet for my secondary account than switching over UberTwitter.

I downloaded Open Beak and now neither it nor the original TB work.

Waiting for my SocialScope invite. Willing to accept recommendations for other twitter apps!
