Dear Nairaland Programmers,

It is not rocket science to develope a blackberry application for nairaland. Its a global competetive environment we live in now with ICT as a driving force. In order to remain relevant you need to move with trend. Don't be left behind. Its bad for business + we(NL users) deserve/need it. We hope you look into our humble request.

NL is an online community which is owned by a PRIVATE entity. Perhaps you should write to the owners of NL.

A Nairalander developed a desktop application and a chat application for nairaland and nairalanders respectively, He did not even make the front page. Imagine that. His works were overlooked. So why should one bother about developing a blackberry client for Nairaland? What API? Is he getting paid? No.

You're thinking like an Alien it just ain't realistic.

Hey guys,

I can make chat IM for Nairaland.

LOL
na wah oh !!!
see people thinking for seun

hahahahhaha

LOL

see people thinking for seun

Thinking is easy and I'm very good at it. But most things are easier said than done. That's the problem.

You are alright Seun. But why can't we start?

Sample on Android Emulator:

LOL
na wah oh !!!
see people thinking for seun Shocked

I wouldn't call this thinking. Its just stating the obvious.

Real thinking will be designing a BB app that works and will match NL in Google revenue.
Give me a call Seun et al, when that's figured out.

afritelly, what you have on ur emulator is just a browser ryt?

Yeah, I just create a label and add url link.

lolzz, kk. So is the motion for a mobile app in progress? Android, iOS RIM or jar. Also we need a repository. I use github which i can also refer yall to.

How would the mobile app be better than a mobile site? See http://wap2.nairaland.com/

@Fayimora: I have added ur IM username to mine. Is it okay?

To be honest I just think its all abut class. take a look at these 2 statements.

1. Nairaland has a mobile site
2. Nairaland has a mobile app.

Forme the second seems cool and although not every mobile fone would be able to use the app, others can stick to wap browser and before you know it another group would emerge ready to develop another app for a different platform. Thats where open source comes in.

Afritelly:

@Fayimora: I have added your IM username to mine. Is it okay?

Of course, very apreciable.

Facebook has a mobile site, just like nairaland: http://m.facebook.com/

It also has an application un like nairaland, lolz, At least lets do it for fun,

if only u can read thru d lines, some posters here wanna help u out, u dont av to start a class on androids/IOS/BB. you as the owner need to open up an API they can connect to.
cud be a page they can call with predefined keywords.
and if possible pay them, e no easy, e no easy, u dey stroll inside bank with adsense check everyweek. abeg go siddon jo

Nigerians in general are funny set of people that always want to some thing a have 100% of it. i reality this is not possible.
most of the World inventor just create things without any hope that it will reach the top.
the inventor on electric bulb made 990 experiment to achieve that in 25 years i think
without waiting for anybody to tell him IT WILL NOT WORK or PEOPLE WILL NOT BUY IT emmhhhh
