BlackBerry users that have become use to using Facebook for BlackBerry, Myspace for BlackBerry, Pandora for BlackBerry and many other applications will soon be able to download a LinkedIn BlackBerry Application that will allow them to access the most popular business oriented social networking service LinkedIn. The application has many awesome features and looks very user friendly. The application will include messaging and profile viewing. Another great feature will be displaying notification alerts on the BlackBerry home screen ribbon and they have integrated it with BlackBerry's calendar system.

LinkedIn is used by more than 50 million professionals to exchange information and ideas. LinkedIn also announced that it will be letting people share tweets between LinkedIn and Twitter. The feature is set to roll out in the next several says, according to LinkedIn co-founder Allen Blue.

"When you set your status on LinkedIn you can now tweet it as well, amplifying it to your followers and real-time search services like Twitter Search and Bing," Blue said in a blog post.

"And when you tweet, you can send that message to your LinkedIn connections as well, from any Twitter service or tool."

"You'll be able to set your professional status and display more fresh content on your LinkedIn profile via Twitter," Jenna Dawn of Twitter said in a blog post at the San Francisco firm's web site.

"As our platform team works with more and more developers to expand access to information, users are able to tweet and read tweets in expanding ways across the web."

Hopefully the new LinkedIn application will have the Tweets built right into the profile when viewing on the BlackBerry smartphones.
