The BBM Mania is Back
The day I let go of my Blackberry for my iPhone I never looked back twice. Even the lure of the BBM messenger wasn’t enough to let me stay -or carry two devices at once-. We had Whatsapp and the internet and everyone did migrate from BBM so I didn’t miss it that much. Then there was this failed trial to make the BBM available for android and iPhones and that went bust, and still I stayed and looked on impassively.
Then the BBM was back again, once and for all, ready to be installed on iOS and androids and I saw people downloading it and complaining that they’ve been waiting forever in line to get their Pin. So I thought to myself why not? Perhaps if I get it I might feel some of that pull that made me want to have a Blackberry in the first place all these years ago.
I downloaded the app, I registered, I waited for 36 hours to get my precious BBM pin, and voila! Now we are back on BBM and I still don’t see what the fuss is all about. If anything the GUI of the BBM seems a bit outdated with rather lackluster fonts and lines. Therefore, I don’t think I would be giving up on Whatsapp chats anytime soon but I’d announced on instagram and now I’m announcing on the blog that I will be keeping my long-awaited for BB M Pin for my blog usage. If you want live updates of my blog topics or need to contact me with a blog related matter, you can add me on 75A95DDD.
I did notice that I got quite a few interested contacts, some have sweet words and mature conversation that is blogging related, some are silent, and some are quite noisy and keep sending endless silly broadcasts, and sadly some men have mistaken the BBM for a flirting tool! Disgusting really but the block option was used immediately for such specimen of humanity. It still remains to be seen if the BBM was worth all this wait and fuss but for the time being if you are interested in contacting me for blog related matters you can use this pin 75A95DDD.
Were you waiting badly for the BBM? If you where, why? And what difference would it make for your if you are already using whatsapp?
