  Why write a social-networking application for BlackBerry? Social networking is all the rage, and people want to take this experience with them wherever they go. Many social-networking users carry BlackBerry devices. The BlackBerry platform is rich and ripe for social networking. Its capability as an Internet-accessing device is solid, its reputation as a messaging platform is legendary, and one important feature that most BlackBerry devices boast is a full keyboard.

These capabilities open many possibilities for feature-rich social-networking applications.
