I've had the pleasure of playing around with Twitterlerts for a while now, and I can say it is a very cool app for Twitter "power users". Twitterlerts lets you easily search Twitter right from your device, and you can save custom searches and even set alerts. Essentially a Twitter search app for BlackBerry, you can also sign in with your Twitter account and use Twitterlerts as a slimmed down client to send updates, replies and follow other users.
Twitterlerts is the Twitter client that makes its easy to stay on top of the subjects that really matter to you - and reveal a world of ideas, comments and opinion on what is important in your life - your company, your products, your competitors, sports team or hobbies.
Sure there are search functions in other BlackBerry Twitter clients as well, but if you need to stay on top of things on Twitter, maybe you'll want to make life easier and give Twitterlerts as shot. It is available until August 31st for $4.99 and is regularly $7.99.

has anyone tried this? is it worth the 4.99?

You can actually do a trial download, but when I try to install it says it requires the installation of a module, net_rim_bbapi_messagelist.

would be nice if the search actually worked. "We couldn't complete your request at this time. Sorry." ... delete app!

This isnt Twitterlerts fault - Twitter.com is still having problems after yesterdays outage and many ISPs appear to be blocking access to twitter.com at present.....

Looks like Twitter.com is still reeling from the fallout of its outage, this is affecting all apps that use Twitter's api's - hopefully it will clear out over the weekend. I assure you Twitterlerts works!
