Joe

Dude! I am an avid follower of your blogs and tweets. I love to stay current on new apps and am trying to live a “transparent” life by using social networking apps to allow people to follow me around. Thanks for all you do. The foursquare page is awesome BTW!

Krystella

i’ve been very frustrated lately, the lagging of my ubertwitter, facebook app, flickr, foursquare, etc. It seems wrong having all of the applications inside my blackberry, they take a lot of memory spaces and make my berry lags. I first heard about SocialScope from twitter, when i was tweeting, as usual, i saw @thekruser tweets: deleting ubertwitter and facebook from my blackberry, SocialScope is the perfect app i need. well, i was kinda interested since then. @thekruser is a very friendly guy, he replies my tweets asking him about foursquare badges and socialscope and he told me there will be a contest coming up. Well, i can’t wait for it, and so here i am, participating in the contest. I tried to be as creative as i can, but a poem is what i can think of, this is a short poem, a very short one i guess. But this one is for all of you.please do vote:D

this may not be the best poem
im not a poet you guys know’em
thanks for your time, im not making shows
but this is how it goes..

twitter facebook foursquare flickr all at once
that would be something that everyone wants
everything is in one app
there will be no much work for me to tap

there’s no more time wasted
socialscope is what i wanted
i just hope my wish is granted
and everyhing will become completed

i think i deserve the SocialScope
this contest just give me some hope
please do vote for me
i really appreciate it:)teehee

So, how is it? I deserve to win this application, i am a teen who really tweet a lot, checks in a lot, and updates a lot.
Thanks for reading this guys, have a nice day!

p.s: took me hours to write this one :p

Kimberly

Hello, what’s up everyone? This is Kimberly and am writing this to get the socialscope invitation. So, I have übertwitter for my twitter, facebook application for facebook, foursquare, flickr and other social networking applications in my blackberry. When I want to tweet , update my status, and check in the place I am at, it sure is a lot of work to do, I have to open each and every social networking application. Not forgetting about how slow the facebook application is in the blackberry, and how the blackberry is lagging due to the small memory space left available. And when I heard about socialscope from @thekruser’s tweet saying: deleting übertwitter, facebook, etc from my blackberry, this socialscope is rocking, I was like WOW, what type of application is that. So, I really think socialscope is the perfect thing for my blackberry, it’s just that, I’m the tweet-update-checks-in-anytime-anywhere person, it will be perfect for me. Socialscope is still ɑ private beta, and I tried to sign up for the invitation, but to no avail, I have not received any invitations, it’s been like weeks waiting. It was ɑ very nice of thekruser to reply my tweets asking about all the badges and socialscope, when he told me he’s holding the contest, I can’t wait for it, it’s ɑ very good opportunity for me. Well, I’ve heard about how great and perfect the application is, and I can’t wait to have it. So, vote for this essay, I would appreciate it if you guys do vote:)thanks for reading and voting for me, have ɑ nice day everyone!

I’ve recently been extremely frustrated by the delays I get when I tweet or post a message on facebook. What is even more annoying is the pop up screen which says,”server down due to over-capacity”.

With so many people from all over the world trying to share their personal issues, ranging from africans to koreans, the server simply cannot hold the massive amount of messages being published every millisecond.

And just when I was about to throw down my blackberry and give up, I stumbled across a very promising application, SocialScope. To me, SocialScope seems like another way for me to spend my past time as minutes past. Seeing as it is not very popular yet, I find it quite pleasant to just post out my thoughts immediately one after another without having to leave my blackberry on for half-an-hour just to send one short comment to the internet.

This wonderful application, SocialScope is what every teen would dream of, because it is twitter and facebook on the same screen! No more wasting my time just to switch applications when I can do it all in one go!

I believe that once I got this application, I would use it to its full extent. Of course, I would not fail to promote it to other teens like me. Because I am a frequent tweeter, SocialScope would allow me to communicate with my friends in a more efficient way,and at the same time allow the application to gain popularity. A win-win situation for both of us.

And so I conclude that is why I believe I should win the application. I will really appreciate it if you guys vote for me. Thank you for reading this:)have a nice day!

Dennis

Hi! My name is Dennis, I’m from Indonesia. I’ve been following thekruser for quite a long time because of his awesome website about foursquare badges which really helps me unlock most of the badges available. Then I notice him tweeting from SocialScope, which makes me curious and I ended up googling about it. Most people said that the SocialScope is the best social networking platform which makes me interested in trying it. Then I signed up for the closed beta invitation, but I was never informed until now. Now is the best chance to try my luck once again to get the SocialScope on Blackberry which is presented by the kind and generous thekruser

Tirta

SocialScope is the best social media application, because SosialScope is a very comprehensive application. I always find information about SocialScope, because I need the invitation.
SocialScope very simple and practice, coz with one application we can enjoy the features
from many social network. SocialScope very useful for me, because my gadget its bold 9000 that hate low memory capacity. With SocialScope i can uninstall many applications and I can save my gadget memory.
I hope you cab give me invitation code, Thanks

Well, there you have it. These guys would really appreciate your vote. Remember, you can vote for two.

When you unlock it, you are entered in a sweepstakes to win a trip to the VMAs.

	PEOPLE VIP*	First, follow PEOPLE Magazine on foursquare. Then check in to some combination of places on their web page. Wait outside the velvet rope? You? No way! You know where to find the hottest parties — it’s just too bad this badge doesn’t come with bottle service.
	PEOPLE Hot Spot*	First, follow PEOPLE Magazine on foursquare. After that, I am pretty sure you just have to check in 3 times at venues listed on their page to earn this one, but I could be wrong. Congrats! You’ve just dipped your fabulously-heeled foot into the ultra-exclusive celebrity world. What’s next – your own reality show?
	Oktoberfest	Only available in Germany. Start by following Lufthansa on foursquare. Then, fly to Munich and check in three times to venues listed on the Lufthansa foursquare page.When you earn the badge, you also will receive a 20 Euro voucher for your next Lufthansa flight. Easy!

Now, we feel you’ve earned a reward….make sure to check the badge unlock email you will receive from foursquare to learn how to redeem an awesome discount on your next Lufthansa flight!
	Mile High	Check in while in flight on an airplane with Gogo Inflight Internet service. Congrats, you’ve just unlocked the Mile High badge! 500 miles per hour @ 30,000 feet and you’re still connected with Gogo. Happy travels!
	MTV GYT*	Since this is an MTV branded badge, I sure you have to follow them on foursquare. Check in to a venue that does STD testing. I am not sure how this is monitored, be it through a specific tag or if there is a list somewhere. Hurry, it is only available through the end of September. Thanks for taking part in MTV’s ‘Get Yourself Tested’ campaign. People who @GYTNOW are twice as sexy as those who don’t. Spread the word and encourage your friends to get tested too!

Foursquare Badge Update for 18 Septmeber 2010 is a post from: thekruser.com

Here is a short list of what I hate about #T4BB. Granted, right now I’m tired as hell and a bit irritable. Either way, here we go. Just off the top of my head:

• The fact that there is no shortcut for “quote tweet” either on the keyboard or in the Profile page.
• The way “quote tweet” looks all together. What was wrong with RT?
• @replies show in my timeline WAY before they show in my @reply list.
• If they can get DMs to show in my messages list, why the hell is it that my @replies don’t?
• Why does the “integrate into messages” produce one thing only in my messages list “You have new tweets.”?
• No multi-acct support.
• It randomly scrolls. I can be scrolling up my timeline, then for no reason at all it just shoots to the bottom.
• When I click a link in a tweet and it opens the page, when I hit the back key, it does not take me back to T4BB.
• There is no day separator. When one scrolls through their timeline, there is no distinction between today and yesterday.
• There is no “This person is following you” notification on the Profile page.
• The fact that “Unfollow” is the first option in the Profile page. So annoying when I am trying to hit the RT link and accidentally hit unfollow.
• You can’t scroll left or right to return to the top.

And that’s all I can think of at the moment. Got one? Leave it in the comments.

P.S. I MISS SOCIALSCOPE!

What I Hate About Twitter for BlackBerry is a post from: thekruser.com

I am looking for someone to help me maintain my foursquare badge list. With everything going on in my life right now, keeping it updated is becoming increasingly difficult, so I am looking for some help.

The person I am looking for should:

1. possess a basic understanding of WordPress
2. have a thorough understanding of how foursquare and foursquare badges work
3. be familiar with HTML

Responsibilities will include:

1. coding new badge update posts
2. coding new badge pages and updating existing ones
3. keeping current with foursquare Badges
4. seeking out new foursquare badges
5. comment moderation

A few other things to know up front:

1. Although it probably goes without saying, I have to put it in black and white: this is an unpaid position.
2. Pages and posts will be of the same design as what I have created. While I am open to suggestions as to how to improve aesthetics and readability, all design decisions are solely mine to make.
3. In the beginning, all posts and pages will be set for moderation before they will be posted to the site. Once I become comfortable with you and your work, I will open it up for automatic posting without moderation.
4. Posts and pages authored by you are limited to foursquare related information.
5. Failure to abide by the conditions listed herein will result in your author status being rescinded permanently.

If you are interested, author a new badge update post and email me the code at webmaster (at) thekruser (dot) com.

For examples of what the posts should look like, refer to these posts.

Thank you for your interest. I hope to be working with you soon. Have a great day, and happy foursquaring.

Just got another tip from my friend Nan Palmero: BlackBerry Power User. Shout “zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz” (without the quotes of course) to unlock the World Cup 2010 badge on foursquare. No specific number of zs, just a bunch of them.

Enjoy!

Thanks again, Nan!!
