The BlackBerry Messenger is a remarkable tool. But not only does it have software glitches, it is also a social connectivity tool, and as such it has its socially related pitfalls because you’re not just dealing with a piece of software, you’re also dealing with people.

Rant! BlackBerry blog has new, lame design
I didn’t even know there was an “Official BlackBerry Blog.” I should have known. A friendly reader just told me that the “Official BlackBerry Blog” has a new design. It’s the beautiful thing you can see above. Ain’t that pretty? I like it. But wait…
