Rejoice! All you Blackberry and Facebook lovers out there constantly torn between answering a quick email on your phone or answering a quick wall post on Facebook, will now be able to do both at the same time.

In its press release published on October 24 2007, RIM announces the launch of its new Facebook for Blackberry application that enables fast, streamlined and optimized mobile access to the popular Facebook social utility using a BlackBerry smartphone. The application leverages the push-based BlackBerry system architecture and Facebook Platform to create an unparalleled mobile experience for Facebook users.

Facebook for BlackBerry Smartphones, which will be available as a free download, makes it faster, easier and more convenient for users to stay wirelessly connected with their Facebook friends and colleagues. The application allows users to:

• Receive notifications and messages automatically – Leveraging the BlackBerry platform’s push-based architecture, notifications and messages are automatically sent to the user; the user can also set a unique alert (vibration and/or ringtone) for Facebook related content
• Quickly access essential features – Convenient onscreen icons let users quickly change their Status, upload a photo, add a friend, poke someone, write on a Wall, or send a message. Users can also quickly scroll through messages and notifications as they do with email messages
• Invite friends to join Facebook and accept new friend requests
• Quickly snap and post pictures along with a caption and tags – The photo upload feature is also integrated with the BlackBerry smartphone camera and photo management applications on the smartphone
• View the Status of friends
• Read, compose and reply to messages even while offline – If the user is out of wireless coverage, messages are queued until the user returns to an area of coverage

Facebook users will be able to download the application at www.facebook.com from their PC or BlackBerry smartphone beginning later today.

Now the only thing that’s left to do for all you Blackberry fans, is to make sure to purchase a Hosted Blackberry account from SherWeb

The online advertising market is heating up and Microsoft has decided to make a bold move by taking part in the social networking frenzy. On Wednesday, October 25th 2007, Microsoft has secured a deal to buy 1.6 percent of the ever growing social networking site Facebook for $240 million. This move helps increase the total value of the young site to an estimated $15 billion and at the same time strengthens a new model of online advertising.

To quote Ellen Lee and Ryan Kim, chronicle staff writers from the San Francisco Chronicle:

“Marketers are expected to spend about $1.2 billion worldwide on social-networking advertising this year, according to a research report by eMarketer. That could grow to $3.6 billion by 2011. Microsoft is betting big that Facebook’s rise is just in the early stages. Facebook remains second behind MySpace, but Facebook’s audience has grown from 13.3 million people last year to more than 30.6 million users in September, according to comScore, which measures Internet use.”

As a fan of Facebook, I myself just can’t wait to see what will happen with all this!

If you’re anything like me, you are anxiously waiting the coming out of Microsoft Hosted Exchange Unified Messaging. I have been getting a lot of questions from customers that are curious to know what we can expect from this somewhat intriguing new and improved technology that is Unified Messaging. Instead of boring you with a blog filled with descriptions on the new characteristics of Unified Messaging, I thought you would enjoy watching a little clip made by Microsoft inspired by the hit movie “The Devil Wears Prada”. I find it very amusing and exciting! Take a look and enjoy!
