Vancouver SEM Meetup – SEO Clinic Review

Trying Out SocialScope On My BlackBerry- A Social Media App

Today I finally got an ivitation to try SocialScope, a mobile application for Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare and Flickr.

Their tagline is “A Mobile Inbox for your Social Networks”…  okay.

I still like Foursquare’s interface better, though. But for twitter, SocialScope is my new pal.
