There are already countless Twitter apps for the CrackBerry addict. UberTwitter, SocialScope and Twitberry are all more more powerful than this effort from RIM? It just sounds like they’re a little late to the game.

Changes/Feature Requests For Google Buzz →
it’s funny how everyone has something to say about Buzz, myself included and rightly so the whole thing is half-baked and they appear to be rolling out features and mods as the complaints get louder. But Kevin Rose’s suggestions would turn Buzz into Pownce.

– I have to admit this one worries me a little too. I love the idea of location based apps for reminding me that I need milk when I pass the grocery store but having a shoe store push ads to me while I’m the restaurant next door is a little intrusive. Can’t wait to see how this one plays...
