I liked the name UberTwitter :<

Funny a few years ago every client was Something-Twitter or Twitter-That. UberTweeter would be just as good to me, or just "Uber" as many of us call it for short.

I was lucky today and got an invite to socialscope thanks to blaze and I'm much more satisfied then I ever was with urbertwitter/urbersocial

So....where is the new download for Ubersocial? Twitter for BB is SLOOOOOOOWW!

Hope we'll be able to use again UberTwiter / UberSocial soon. This apps is the best for blackberry, and even better than the official app for blackberry.

I truly don't care what the name is as long as it comes back.(and sooner rather than later)

 
 
Posted by jojones44 Friday, Feb 18, 2011 463 days ago

That's what I like to hear!!!

I don't care what the name is as long as they fix the issue. Twitter for BB is terrible.

Hints the name i think its going to support more things than just twitter

 
 
Posted by drumking1 Friday, Feb 18, 2011 463 days ago

i hope it support Facebook bc i dont like Rim Facebook as well as Rim Twitter

Will it be a check for update type of thing, or log out and in type of thing? How will this affect paid users who purchased from different venues? I wonder if I wait patiently until tomorrow, if I open it up will I get a big splash screen saying "DOWNLOAD UBERSOCIAL"? Hmmm.

UberSocial................. *heart breaks*

So lame. But in honor of UT, I will carry on as a devoted user.

 
 
Posted by FatSajak Friday, Feb 18, 2011 463 days ago

I too was lucky and as I was reading all of this mess about UT I got an email with my invite code for SS! Not looking back now...

HATE Twitter for BB...Can't wait for UberSocial

I registered for the SocialScope invite because I heard it's a great application... What are my chances of getting a reply from them?

 
 
Posted by drumking1 Friday, Feb 18, 2011 463 days ago

i sent them my email address about a month ago still no reply

 
 
Posted by juju705 Saturday, Feb 19, 2011 463 days ago

I requested a SocialScope invite about twenty minutes ago. Nineteen minutes ago I received a reply, and instead of it being a 'thank you for your interest but...', it was a download code! (Yes, I'm kind of excited.)

I think they're getting looser with the invites. I tried a couple months ago with no luck. Perhaps they're close to releasing it and are trying to use the Ubertwitter mess to their advantage.

 
 
Posted by naderalmaleh Saturday, Feb 19, 2011 463 days ago

It took them 2 minutes with me!!

 
 
Posted by TeamBigChief Friday, Feb 18, 2011 463 days ago

I signed up on their site and got an email for the download within 5 minutes.

 
 
Posted by drumking1 Friday, Feb 18, 2011 463 days ago

i might not need Ubersocial bc i just got invited to SS!!!!

I got a mail from twitter about the same thing, check itt out

"Regardless of how you access Twitter, we are dedicated to making Twitter better, faster and more reliable for you. As part of this effort, we ask applications that work with Twitter to abide by a simple set of rules that we believe are in the interests of our users, and the health and vitality of the Twitter platform as a whole. We often take actions to enforce these rules.

We are sending this email today because we suspended UberTwitter for violating our policies.

Every day, we suspend more than one hundred applications that are in violation of our policies. Generally, these apps are used by a small number of users. We are taking the unusual step of sending out this letter because today’s suspension may affect a larger number of users.

We are committed to helping you continue to use Twitter during the disruption of this application. You can download Twitter for Blackberry and other official Twitter apps here. You can also try our mobile web site or apps from other third-party developers.

We appreciate your continued support of Twitter and regret any inconvenience to you."

SS is so much better than any other social networking app ive tried

 
 
Posted by henghs Friday, Feb 18, 2011 463 days ago

Anyone here able to use the UberSocial (still sounds kindda odd) feature to selectively post tweets to Facebook?
If yes, can please direct me to the link? I'm still trying to figure out what to do to be able to do so.
Is there anything more setting I need to do at Facebook and twitter?

 
 
Posted by benny215 Friday, Feb 18, 2011 463 days ago

What a douche bag move by Twitter. I'm more likely to just stop using Twitter than to switch to the featureless official app.

 
 
Posted by JiveMasterT Saturday, Feb 19, 2011 463 days ago

Wanna talk about douchey? How about Twitter asking them to change the name in April 2010 instead of you know, suing them for copyright infringement. Twitter was more than fair here... UberMedia just decided to drag their heels getting this done.

Get the new UberSocial here http://mypict.me/bb/download.php or visit the site http://ubersocial.com

 
 
Posted by naderalmaleh Saturday, Feb 19, 2011 463 days ago

Already?!?!?!

 
 
Posted by samjuan Saturday, Feb 19, 2011 463 days ago

SocialScope, IMO, is better than Uber-[insert_eventual_name_here], and WAAAYYY better than the actual Twitter client. Plus you get Facebook, Flickr and Foursquare integration all in one app.

Posted by hrphotoman Saturday, Feb 19, 2011 463 days ago

Just got the invite yesterday. Apparently they're handing out invites as soon as you request it. Good for me, bad for Uber(whatever). Social Scope is the way to go IMO.

 
 
Posted by blue200316 Saturday, Feb 19, 2011 463 days ago

i hate Twitter for BB official client.... UberTwitter is the best client for twitter bring it back pls :(

 
 
Posted by RunOfLuck Saturday, Feb 19, 2011 463 days ago

I'm using SocialScope now. So far so good. You can follow me @Tony_Time. Let me know how you like SocialScope in comparison to ÜberTwitter.

 
 
Posted by jeneias Saturday, Feb 19, 2011 463 days ago

I'm sorry, but SocialScope's got NOTHING on UberTwitter. Maybe if you're using Twitter for BB and switch to SS, then I'd understand. But Uber is waaaay way better. Anyway, can't wait for UberTwitter - er, UberSocial I mean - to get activated. I personally can't stand any of the other Twitter apps.

 
 
Posted by JiveMasterT Saturday, Feb 19, 2011 463 days ago

Whoa. They started to change the name 3 weeks ago? They were asked in April 2010 to change their name. Sorry, but that's what happens.

 
 
Posted by shadygrey Saturday, Feb 19, 2011 462 days ago

You can't download UberSocial yet. It seems like as more and more people are deciding to go to social scope they have upped their invites to people registering for a name (a good move for them to do). Social Scope is still in its development phase so they probably don't have the capacity to handle as many clients as Uber did. The more I continue to use SS the more I like it and probably won't even care about Uber when its available. SS also allows you to provide feedback and suggestions (which I have done already) and they e-mailed me back pretty quickly.

Ridiculous!! I was thinking the whole time that it was me, or my 9700. I deleted and installed twice, both Twitter and UberTwitter. I had no idea they were different companies, and thought Iber was just a ramped up Twitter. As I write this, I was serioulsy thinking of junking it as every time I accessed Uber it was stating VERBOTTEN!! I am so glad I found the link about the suspension. I will go scope out the SS app and give it a whirl. I'll post back here what I've discovered.

Like others, I got an invite to the best app for my social apps- SocialScope. Love the app and have stopped using Uber as well as other apps I was using. So I guess the timing was perfect!!!
