Update your Facebook or Twitter Status on your Blackberry

Here are the ways I've learned to update your Facebook status using a Blackberry. Any one of these 5 ways work; the status update takes up to 30 seconds max to propagate through to Facebook (usually only around 10 seconds).

Here are the ways you can do it:

• The Facebook app for Blackberry (does not require Twitter)
• SMS/text message (via Twitter + TwitterSync)
• Gtalk (Google Talk) (via Twitter + TwitterSync)
• Twitter app for Blackberry (via Twitter + TwitterSync)
• Jott (via Twitter + TwitterSync) - a toll-free 800 number!

This is a great option, since it doesn't require routing through Twitter, and the app allows you to upload pictures, respond to messages and other fun Facebook stuff, too.

However, sometimes it doesn't seem to synch real-time, so I've seen 3-day-old statuses listed there with the "Fetching..." message churning away with no end in sight.
