The Twitter enabled Viigo is currently in testing but should be available to the general public soon. You can get an invite to participate in the alpha test if you know someone who is already running an alpha version.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Blackberry Smartphone
  • Twitter Account
  • Viigo installed
  • Viigo Account
  1. Step 1

    Install your copy of Twitter enabled Viigo. This version of Viigo is currently in Alpha testing and the download is by invite only. You can find other users on Twitter who may be willing to share the link. Including me! www.twitter.com/daethian

  2. Step 2

    From your Blackberry Smartphone mobile desktop launch Viigo and scroll down to Social Networks. Click with your trackball to open the category.

  3. Step 3

    Then use your trackball to click Add Channel.

  4. Step 4

    Next Click on Twitter.

  5. Step 5

    Now Click Add Account.

  6. Step 6

    Enter your Twitter username and password. Below that you will see all the different Twitter feeds you can add to your Twitter channel on Viigo. Place a checkmark in the channels (or feeds) you want to add to Viigo. If you use Twitter you will know what these channels display based on their titles.

  7. Step 7

    Finally click Next and wait while your Twitter account is validated. Click Finish when you see the Success message.

  8. Step 8

    Now back up to your Social Network category and click on the Twitter account name you have just added. You will see the channels (or feeds) you chose. Click on one to open it and view the tweets.

  9. Step 9

    To send a tweet you must be viewing one of your selected channels. While in that view, press the Blackberry key to the left of your trackball. This will give you the option Tweet, Direct Message, Delete and more.

  10. Step 10

    To Retweet or Reply to a tweet, click on it to open it and then press the Blackberry key again. You will have a laundry list of options available to you now.

Tips & Warnings
  • You can have more than one Twitter account on Viigo!
  • Share Viigo with your friends to be entered in their giveaways
  • Find the Viigo support team on Twitter so they can answer any questions you may have
  • When you have more than one Twitter account set up on Viigo, make sure when you tweet that you are logged in to the right account.
  • Alpha software is not always stable. You may experience errors or occasional phone freeze ups.
  • At the time of writing, the option to tweet a photo via Viigo is not available. But it will be coming from what I've heard.
