Twitter & LinkedIn 10.0.1 Rolling Out to BlackBerry 10 Users

BlackBerry has a quite a few features to round out in the official Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn apps. They have made a nice step in that direction with the release of Twitter v10.0.1 and LinkedIn v10.0.1 today. Twitter now offers you more options for your tweets and better image viewing finally! LinkedIn also freshens up the app with messaging, images, and job search. BlackBerry was even kind enough to offer a change log for each release:

• Doing more on the Compose Tweet Screen – An enhanced Compose Tweet Screen allows you to take a new photo or add an existing one, add your location, and offers a shortcut for “@”.

Sadly BlackBerry still has not been able to figure out how to do an update on BlackBerry World in less than 24 hours so the update may not show up immediately. You may want to manually check for updates to try and speed up the process.
