 Parody of a town Crier announcing the latest news

Yes folks, it’s really true as the news says above: BBM is hot, according to Forbes Magazine’s writer Tero Kuittinen. Jog your memory a bit folks; Blackberry is now no more as the very popular mobile devices has ridden off into the sunset on Tuesday November 5th 2013. It’s exactly as if I’d scripted it myself in the article Blackberry sold to Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited as BBM goes free. I declare I MUST be a prophet!

I’d like to see the stats in another three (3) to six (6) months time to see if the usage of the BBM App stacks up to those of WhatsApp as noted in How to use WhatsApp on your Computer. Ditto too the stats on the Google Android Platform!

But with BBM now posting these amazing stats and poised for greatness, killing WhatsApp exactly as I’d predicted, are we now seeing early signs of the fading glory of WhatsApp? Only the Stats can tell the Tale of the Phoenix Called Blackberry Messenger as Jamaicans now have more reason to hold on to their Blackberry as they’ll be more “in crowd” peeps among the “smart crowd” banging away distractedly on their smartphones to message their friends!
