Josep let me know about this slick new free Twitter client for OS 4.6+ BlackBerrys. Yatca takes a RIM like approach for their Twitter client that I totally love but requires OS 4.6+ for it to work. It essentially ties itself directly into your messages application so that your Twitter notifications show up in your messages folder. It also is tied into the native profiles so you can set a different notification profile for Yatca. Oh and by the way Yatca stands for Yet Another Twitter Client Application… 🙂 I can see quite a few people including myself loving the new integration options of this app.

NOTE: This app will only work with OS 4.6+ devices. Please do not install on older devices.

Nice. This is a great option for those of us in Canada who can’t get tweets by SMS anymore. Twitterberry was nice, but since it didn’t plug into the messages folder, it was a little weak. I still spite the Facebook app for not already doing it, but 1.5 looks like it’s coming soon.
Don’t know how I feel about the “yatca” name, though. Would much rather see a bunch of “t’s” in my messages folder instead of “y’s”.

i tried this yatcha and i love it, it’s easy, and you don”t have to switch between one icon to another,
if only the message enter in to my twitter email folder instead of message folder. it’ll be easier to check new tweet.

Same problem-I get the indicator icon, and my LED is blinking, but I don’t have anything in my message list.

are you sure that youre checking the Messages app and not a specific email account icon?
I installed on my Storm running 113/114 hybrid and it worked right away (no reboot, etc).

Yeah, I’m sure. My inboxes are combined. I tried seperating them-didnt work. I’ve reinstalled and tried multiple battery pulls.I’m on a bold.

Go to view folders… then scroll down to yatca in your option box.

Hey,
A neat and tidy application & integrates well with the Messages folder, which I could see some people would find this very helpful, but with over 1700 friends, the Messages folder becomes very crowded, very quickly. Tried the application last night, but a separate application works best for me, as for me, it is good to be able to separate twitter from my 7 email addresses.
The name stands out and with the “correct” colour (blue for twitter) is is instantly recognisable as a twitter application.
Congratulations, but I shall stick with SocialScope and use twitterberry on occasions.
