Some fun “FREE” Blackberry Applications
We are always being asked what Blackberry applications we’re using when we put a fun and happy emoticon on a BBM or on FB, or other social networks, so I’ve decided to put some here 
I’m not going to be inserting links or anything, but if you go into your BB Application World, log in you’d be able to download them straight from there, and if you can’t find them, just search for them, it’s easy peasy. They’re all “FREE” – I only download the free ones!
For some fun emoticons and to create an avatar of yourself – you have to download Jingu
So far these you can paste into any social network and they’re super cute.
Another has to be the Excuse Generator
Quite a fun one to have, but not always practical LOL
Sometimes you get some that might come in handy!
Obviously Twitter, Facebook, and WordPress and Blackberry Messenger is a must if your a social butterfly or bat!
Whatsapp Messenger - for those poor buggers that don’t have a Blackberry and have other cell phones, it works like BBM, exactly like BBM!!
And before I forget, like on your computer if you have FB chat, you can have it on your Blackberry too – just search for Free Chat for Facebook in the BB Application World, works exactly the same.
That’s about it for now, will add more when I come across them, there are plenty of games, but I don’t play games much on my phone, I would rather play Angry Birds on hubby’s phone
Seriously though – do yourselves a favour, take some time and just go through your BB Application World, there are tons of applications, and let us know which ones you like.
Do you want to download youtube videos?
Do you want to download youtube videos without installing 3rd party applications for you Windows, Linux or Mac machines?
No problem, go to youtube and search for the video of your choice. Select the pop out button and copy the URL. In a new tab go to www.keepvid.com and paste the URL in and select the download button next to the URL.
You will be prompted to select your output I.e AVI, MPEG, WMV, 3gp etc ( there’s also the option for MP3). Select where you want to save it and then press okay.
Happy downloading.
