BIS Lite and Twitter Part 2

We have discussed about updating Twitter from Google Talk earlier and now I will share my idea of using  BIS Lite (Emails and Chat) to get Twitter updates.

Why am I doing this while you could just simply pay for full BlackBerry Internet Service? Well, it is very simple. I spend most of my days sitting in front of computer. Perhaps around 10-12 hours a day so it will be such a waste if I pay IDR 180,000 for BIS by Telkomsel. BIS Lite is already proven useful for me.

Nowadays, I get informations mostly from Twitter. Here are few useful tweeter fellows that you might want to follow :

• TMCPoldaMetro -> Jakarta's traffic information
• OKEZ0NE -> One of the biggest news portal in Indonesia
• kompasdotcom -> Biggest Newspaper in Indonesia
  
• BlackBerry -> RIM's official Twitter
• fp_pnp -> Forumponsel.com buying and selling Twitter. Never missed what you want to buy!
  
• GilaPromoDotCom -> Informations about promotions, discounts, sale and whatsoever
• jobsinindonesia -> do you want to work here? :)
• GamepadMagazine -> a Jakarta Gamer's Twitter
  
• ID_ARSENAL -> the official Arsenal FC - Indonesia supporter's Twitter
• engadget -> its Engadget.com
• boygeniusreport -> We're lucky that it's not about this boy, but it tweets about boy toys!

Okay, that was few of them on my list. Can you see how much information you'll get from Twitter? That's why I like to use it more than any social networking sites. Back to topic, to receive Twitter updates, we will use another third party helps. I always wonder why this third party is everywhere and the best part is they serve us for free! (horray for that.. for now...)

Here is the howtos :

1. We will use the service by tweetbymail. 
2. Simply just register your account
3. Go to setting
4. Click tab Updates and in "Sending updates to" type your email address and click "Set Updates"
5. And to get all your @replies click tab Trackings, type your email address and click "Set Trackings"
6. You should check your inbox because I use @live.com and @gmail.com and both of them filter the @twmail.com as spam or junk.
7. Done.

Enjoy :)
