BBM Version 6 Offers Revolutionary Social App Experience to Users

RIM has introduced BlackBerry Messenger widely known as BBM version 6 to offer revolutionary social app experience to BlackBerry users, sources reported. The latest version boasts of some extended social functionality that allows application developers to incorporate a BBM experience into their apps and services.

According to the sources, the upgraded version allows users to chat and share apps with friends on BBM within games. BBM 6 will embrace BlackBerry smartphones powered with BB OS 5.0 and other updated version. However, the new version is not accessible through Bridge on the PlayBook.

While Facebook has garnered a huge following, Google+ is fast approaching in that direction. Apple too is prepping up iMessage, a tool akin to BBM to be used on iPhones and iPads.

Therefore, RIM’s updated BBM could create the foundation for an improved experience thereby saving its constantly dropping shares. RIM earlier acquired social gaming company Scoreloop to expand Messenger and allow more interaction in existing mobile games.
