I own a Blackberry Bold 9790 (Bold 6)
and this application called Social Feeds 2.0 came pre-installed on it.
I initially neglected it and went on to configure the basic features of
the Blackberry phone. When I later got to it, I felt I should have
configured it earlier.
Social Feed app lets you stay
up-to-date with your social networks and receive the latest news and
information from the blogs and websites you choose all in one place, on
a single application.
According to RIM and which I’ve confirmed myself:
The Social Feed application in the
Social view, allows users to view updated feeds from their social
applications such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, as well as their
instant messaging applications such as Yahoo Messenger, Gtalk, etc. You
can also post updates to your social networks and update your instant
messaging statuses right from this application.
While in the News mode, you can read
RSS web feeds and blogs. It has the option to let you view full feed
items in the browser, this will take you to the originating website on
the browser. You can also create views and search your feeds by
keywords.
Configuring Social Networks on Social Feed
From my own experience, Social Feed
automatically adds any social application it discovers on your
Blackberry phone to its streams and you can start to see updates of
your social activities on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace on the Soacial
Feed app.
Configuring and Customizing Feeds and Views
Some Feed from Reuters News are already
pre-configured here, just click on your choice, press the options
button and choose “Save”. You can easily add your own by clicking the
options button and scroll to “Add RSS Feed”, you will be provided with
a list of popular feeds that you can choose from. If you wish to add
your own feed that is not on the list, just type the feed URL and click
“Search RSS Feed at”, the site feed will show up. Check the radio
button beside it, press the options button and select “Save”.
