I guess I never gave it a fair shot. I stopped using it when I discovered a lot of the locations I was checking in at required me to type in a address :-/ At that point I simply jumped back to Brightkite.

Damn that iPhone right! I dig my blackberry, but sometimes, just sometimes, I get jealous at all the aps the iPhone has.

@Ricardo – I have a Blackberry and actively use FourSquare through the mobile browser. I get what you're saying…I wish sometimes I had a app for the Blackberry that is similar to that of what the iPhone has.

Posterous is a good idea and I was thinking about including that in this post…but then that would be more than 5 apps, huh? Great suggestion!

I'm in agreement with just about all of your selections here. We have a business account with Gmail so this was problematic when we were having issues (still got email via my phone tho). Still a fan of all Gmail has to offer though and always will be.

As for Twitter, well, I almost felt lost a conference because no one knew where they were supposed to be going. Why? Twitter was down! And response times were too slow on Facebook and via text (not to mention people didn't exactly have each others phone numbers).

The only app I haven't come to enjoy all that much has been foursquare. Not because I don't like it but because since there isn't a blackberry app for it, I find it to troublesome to enjoy using. I have to use my mobile browser on my blackberry to check in on Brightkite. I barely do that!

Then of course the more recent app that I've come to enjoy a lot: Posterous!

@Jane – thanks for your comment. I think you're right that while Gmail has encountered some issues, Yahoo hasn't really gone down in a significant manner in recent memory. Instant messaging is something also to be included as something to include on this list as well…thanks for your thoughts!

Bing is an interesting selection. If Bing went down, would you find yourself a bit “lost”? By that I mean would you be pissed that it's down?

uh.. I'll keep my Yahoo mail, and Yahoo messenger.. thank you. These haven't gone down since I can't even remember. I've also been using Bing as my default search engine for some time now. totally happy with it.
