SocialScope is the combined Facebook and Twitter App for the Blackberry smartphone that is under development. It is currently in invitation-only beta testing. I wrote about it a last month. The @SocialScope Twitter account was silent for about a month but just tweeted this evening that the release version will support FourSquare, the location-based networking/game of sorts.
Keep in mind that RIM has its own Twitter app under development and the Ubertwitter beta looks strong too. FourSquare also has its own Blackberry app in development that is expected any day now. So, where’s the place for SocialScope in the Blackberry app wars? Well, it aggregates streams from a variety of sources and could, if properly executed, be a terrific app.
I’m mildly skeptical because of past failures of other apps like this, e.g., Snaptu. On the other hand, Nimbuzz is going to be a huge success and it aggregates virtually all commonly used IM services and Skype.
