Announcing Social Feeds 2.0
Product Overview
With Social Feeds on your BlackBerry® smartphone, you can stay up to date with your social networks and receive the latest news and information from your favorite blogs and websites. In fact, with the new “Favorites” feature, you can create a custom view of your contacts’ updates, and even add or remove people, channels and topics you follow.
With Social Feeds, your feeds are updated automatically all in one location, so you don’t have to do a thing. Within each view, you can sort by the specific feed you’re interested in and flag feed items so that you can catch up when it’s most convenient. Or select and choose which of your friends you want to follow or see them all. Use the new keyword search feature to quickly locate specific topics of interest, or specific content. Meanwhile, the new universal search integration allows you to search across your device and pull information from your people and content in Social Feeds. Tired of managing your status updates across all your social networks? Type your update once, and send it to one, all, or a select few. And if you are interrupted while reading your contacts’ status updates, the new read/unread status indicator bolds what you haven’t yet read, so you’ll never have to question where you left off last.
Features
Custom Views and Notifications
Users can now create and modify views in Social Feeds and enable notifications for new items in specific views. Users can add people from their social networks, like Facebook, Twitter, and BlackBerry Messenger, as well as RSS feeds to any custom view.
Flagged Items
Check feed items at your convenience! Users can flag feed items for later viewing from the new Flagged Items view.
In-App Search
Users can now search for content in any or all of their views.
Read/Unread Status Notification
Stay organized with your feeds! New feed items are displayed in a bold type; once a user has read a feed item it will become unbolded, so the user always know where he or she has left off reading.
Enhanced Feed Integrations
Users can now perform Facebook or Twitter actions, like Comment or Retweet, right from the Social Feeds timeline.
