BlackBerry Rolls Out Its BBM Social Network
BlackBerry Ltd. on Tuesday pushed ahead with what has become one of the few areas of growth for the troubled smartphone maker — the development of its BlackBerry messaging application.
BlackBerry said it is rolling out its social network, called BBM Channels, on Tuesday, and is partnering with a number of emerging-market smartphone manufacturers to have BBM preinstalled on their devices. The social network will be built into its BBM messaging service.
