Blackberry and Social Media

Jump to Comments

I have had a Blackberry now for about a year and totally love it. It helps keep my life sane. As a counselor, I have a lot of appointments to remember. Prior to my Blackberry, I had a cheap old PDA. Prior to thatblackberry, I used to store them in my head. Amazingly, I never missed an appointment while doing that. Recently, I decided that it was time for me to embrace social media a little bit more and get my Blackberry in on the act. You see, I love to punch away on that thing. So, blogging or status updates done through my phone would be a lot more appealing to me!

However, two complaints have risen out of this. First, Blackberry doesn’t allow you to use their apps on a wifi network. You have to subscribe to the Blackberry service. Ripoff! Second, I am getting old. I am so overwhelmed with trying to figure out how to set up all these services and get them connected. Added to the overwhelmed feeling is my own over active need to be organized. I like to have a place for things. I like to see things in one location. Using different social media sites definitely aggravates that. And, I have no doubt there is some amazing website or program that would do it all for me. At the present moment, my overwhelmed feeling is keeping me from looking into it.
