In the above article you will see all the information I discussed in class on Thursday morning. The article was about RIM (Research In Motion) integrating the top social media apps known as Facebook and Twitter with BBM (BlackBerry Messenger). They have successfully integrated with over 800 apps already and plans to integrate with the entire BlackBerry app world. What RIM has been doing was adding an in app-button to give BBM users the ability to share their status updates and tweets instantly with their BBM contacts. Do you think that BlackBerry App World compares to the Apple Store (iTunes) or even the Android Market or will they ever with their new strategy of integration?

I think it compares alot to Apple store (iTunes) thuogh it is not as widely known BB App World I believe is a great vertical intergration it will create more bussiness for Black Berry and will help them grow.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Steabo on how the Apple Store and the Android market do compare with the BB App World. These three markets are all very similar in what they sell to the public and how they sell it. The only difference would be how the Apple Store has a headstart on all the other markets since they started first. That is why people would rather choose Itunes over the other companies, just because they're more popular. Another thing would be how the BB App World was already doing pretty well in the industry market just by using horizontal integration in their own company. I just think that now, as steabo said, that they've been trying to vertically integrate their own utilities, like BBM, with other companies, such as Facebook and Twitter, their chances of doing better than the Apple Store and the Android Market someday would significantly increase.
