I’ve been enjoying the Twitter for BlackBerry for a while now and now the joys can be shared by all. Tonight starting at 9PM Eastern time, you can download the Twitter app and you too can have Twitter integrated within your Messages every time you get a new Tweet, Mention, or Direct Message. Below are the features:

When an @reply/mention is received, the user will be notified with a splat on the BlackBerry home screen ribbon as well as the application icon

Users will also be notified of new tweets in the BlackBerry Messages list
