use the Mobile side of the BlackBerry Underground. By downloading the
bbu Launcher HERE , you will be able to access the bbu on the go, you
will be able to read comments sent to you, messages, go to the forums,
post reply’s as well as make new forum discussions. You will be able to
check out the Members profiles as well as the Latest Activities on the
bbu, as well as upload new Pictures and Videos and invite new
friends to Join.

The connection is very fast and the screen easy to navigate on both touch and none touch BlackBerrys. I have below some
screen shots of how the site looks.

You
can also go to the forum of your choice whether it be The BBM Xchange
and pick up a ton of PIN #s or over to the Theme forum and make some
OTA downloads of some great user made themes…….We also now have Twitter Integration into your Status Messages.

What you say is this a new Twitter Competitor??, well not really but it is interesting non the less. While I was perusing the internet for news as I do every morning, I came across an interesting story out of Toronto Canada about a company called FastLife that has taken Speed Dating and Social Networking to the next level. Personally I have always thought that dating sites were way ahead of the crowd when it came to social networking, they have been doing it years before FacebookFacebook, TwitterTwitter and most any of the major networks out there. But there is something a little different with the way FastLife approaches it, although this article I read was based out of Toronto, they have franchises all over the world…so you can go and try this in your area as well.

So its called Flitter or Flittering, people get together for a speed dating meet up, but before they sign up for this get together they are told to go and make a Twitter account if they don’t already have one.

Upon arrival, participants will receive a number tag to display on their clothing. When someone spots an appealing “number,” it’s time to “Flitter” a message which will appear on a video screen in the Venue you can see and watch for.

Flitterers can tweet anonymously or reveal their own number. For example: “Hey #73 — you look hot! See you at the bar? #123 Flitter.

The owners of FastLife.ca believe that Flittering could possible take over for conventional dating sites which they said are on the decline in membership.

So if you are into mingling, speed dating or just looking for someone to meet and be able to use your favorite Blackberry and Technology to do it, hit up the FastLife dating sites……..there are locations  for just about everywhere….oh and have fun Flittering.
