SocialScope is a new application for BlackBerry that allows users to simultaneously post to Twitter and Facebook. They are also working on Flickr and FourSquare integration. Unfortunately, they are still in private alpha. You can get on the waiting list by signing up at socialscope.net. Those of us who are fortunate enough to have been sent an invitation to SocialScope have discovered just how hard it is to live without it.
Those of us who have been lucky enough to beta/alpha this amazing app have been given the warning to not post screen shots or “word pictures” of the application or it’s functionality, lest our invitation be revoked. In light of this, I will not be reviewing the app until it’s release, though many others have done so. However, in an attempt to share info for those who are interested, I am posting this list of shortcuts.
| Key | Function |
|---|---|
| Back | Return to top tabs Thanks to boardopboy for letting us know!! |
| R | Reply to currently selected entry |
| T | Jump to the top of the list |
| U | Call the ‘Update’ dialog screen |
| P | Go to previous entry in selected list |
| A | Call the ‘Add to list’ dialog |

| F | Call the ‘Forward as’ dialog |

| C | Call the ‘Update’ dialog screen |
| V | Add currently selected tweet to ‘Favorite’ list |

To keep up-to-date with SocialScope, you should follow them on twitter at @socialscope.
Are there any shortcuts that I have missed? Have you stumbled upon any other intriguing facets of the software? Please comment below.
Awesome post! I have SocialScope, but never knew there were shortcuts. Thanks, man!!
Glad you liked it! I know they are in alpha, but one would think there would be some sort of user support page or something! You should follow me on twitter. Click the link at the top of the screen. Hope to hear from you again. Thanks for visiting!
although still beta, you can just log out from socialscope if you want to delete a previously uploaded image on socialscope.
“L” will perform a timeline refresh…
Thanks for letting us know! I have added your shortcut to the list.
If you find any more, please leave another comment! Thanks for visiting. Hope to hear from you again!
No problem!
I do have another one, that’s more of a tip than a keyboard shortcut, but it’s worthy of sharing.
The back button (to the right of the trackball) will take you to the tabs bar, WITHOUT going to the top of the timeline you are in…
I use that all the time now!
Added that one, too. You rock!
I call “spacebar” button for scrolling down.
To scroll up, you press “shift+spacebar”.
It’s a common shortcut in BB platform, I suppose.
Thanks for the info. I did not know that! I have added it to the list. You are awesome!
I’m new to SS. This list is great.
I am glad you like it. If you find any new ones, please leave a comment to let us all know. Thanks for the comment. Hope to hear from you again!
I was just looking at their website and there is an iPhone app now as well, so I may have to look into checking it out and seeing if I can get in on the beta.
Where did you see that? Can you post a link?
i hit the “S” button but it has the same function as “F”
