The Demise of BBM--and the iPhone Alternative!

As many of you know, since Mitrovich finally negotiated and signed his endorsement deal with Blackberry (rumors have surfaced that he signed for $6 million dollars a year plus medical benefits and all you can drink PBR) the rest of the class 'A' Iv celebrities followed suite. Today, an extremely exclusive cult like organization has been formed amongst those who are responsible for organizing 'late night planet earth sessions with GK' or 'morning chompers & volleyball with mr. hahn' all through communication via blackberry messaging. Now I do not fully comprehend the process of how bbming works, but from what i've been able to decipher is that essentially BBM is a real-time messaging system that allows users to have conversations with one another or even from groups of people to partake in a conversation. The BBM system works through the users internet connection (were talking 3g here) so that the user is not charged per message like he or she would be for SMS and all they need is an unlimited data plan.

For the past few weeks, I felt like an outsider--literally (thanks to Mitro's "Privacy Protection Screen")--but today I'm optimistic. I write these words very carefully because I know I've already been discredited by my past attempts to find an iPhone solution to BBM. It was a simple app called PING which claimed it had similar services to BBM. However, when landon, yimmers, and I attempted to use it, landon had already deleted it before i could even attempt to ping him, jimmys app wouldnt even open, and mine did not work very well either. The app also failed because you could not see if the person you were messaging was even typing.
Today, however, I present to you WhatsAPP Messanger. Essentailly this app is a complete rip off of BBM and offers all the same features including a status update, and most importantly the ability to see if your message has been sent or read. The developer have already created a BETA version of the app for blackberrys so that we can end this segregation and unite all the smart phones of the world just like mr mandela did in that shitty flick Invictus. So, I ask all of you with iPhones, spend the 99 cents and purchase this app, because without anyone to talk too, its pretty fucking useless. I will also definitely let the blackberry folk know when its up and running for blackberrys as well.

Hope all you fuckers have an awesome newyear in Tahoe/PC/Denver/wherever the fuck you may be popping bottles.

Cheers boys!
