I've tried to load this app to my Blackberry Bold 9650 with no success. I tried downloading from the link in the story (can't open a .jad file on PC) and can't find it in the Blackberry App World for download directly to my device. Any ideas?

Try heading to HootSuite's download page on the mobile browser on your Bold 9650 http://hootsuite.com/blackberry-download and select the appropriate file from there.

You can also try to download the .jad file on your PC, then transfer it to the BlackBerry and install the application.
