A new app for BlackBerry mobile devices was released this month that could make a Twitter fanatic’s mouth water. The app is tweservation, and its goal is to allow users to make a reservation to their favorite restaurants by utilizing the Twitter platform directly from their mobile device.

I first discovered tweservation when browsing the BlackBerry App World on my Storm (yes, I’m a BlackBerry grrrl).  Needless to say that I was pretty excited by the concept. Unfortunately, there are hardly any businesses signed up and exactly zero New Orleans-area restaurants are listed. Sign-up is painless for both the user and the business, but users must have a Twitter account, naturally, and a mobile device to send and receive text updates from their selected restaurants. If you aren’t already receiving that business’ Twitter updates, you must go here and type in the restaurant you are looking for. Tweservation suggests all establishments utilize the same format (up to 21 characters for your name, 2 characters for your city location, and 2 characters for your state. Example: businessnameandstreetnola), so that Jane Diner can easily find the restaurant she’s looking for. As an added bonus, if Jane synchs her Google Calendar with tweservation, she can make reservations directly from her calendar. How cool is that?

It seems that tweservation’s system wouldn’t be limited to restaurants, but hey, we’re talking food here, not dental appointments. While I have been able to download the app, it doesn’t seem like the full system will go live until November 8, according to the BlackBerry App World site. You better believe I will be waiting for it, BlackBerry in hand.
