(Before It's News)

Ever since the launch of BlackBerry 10, there has been some buzz on the native Twitter application with various limitations, leading users to go for other third party applications available in BlackBerry World. We just got the word from BlackBerry that both the Twitter and LinkedIn applications have updated to version 10.0.1 including lots of great enhancements – catering to what users have been waiting for. Nothing for the Facebook application yet, but I’m sure something is in the works. Any way, the update for Twitter and LinkedIn will only be available in the US once the device becomes available later this month – that’s the only sad face for now. Hit the jump for more info on the changes.

Twitter:

Doing more on the Compose Tweet Screen – With Twitter v10.0.1, an enhanced Compose Tweet Screen allows you to take a new photo or add an existing one, add your location, and offers a shortcut for “@”.
Composing Direct Messages – Twitter v10.0.1 makes it easier for you to compose a Direct Message from the “Me” tab within the app. Viewing Direct Messages from your contacts is also available in the BlackBerry® Hub.
Edit Profile – You can now edit your profile picture, header, and details from your BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
Conversation view – You will see the full conversation history when clicking on a Tweet.
Improved Image Viewing – You can now view pic.twitter.com full screen images, as well as pinch to zoom and pan images from the Tweet details. Also, you can view full screen profile pictures from other Twitter users.
Deleting Tweets – You can now delete your own tweets from any screen where your tweet is displayed. It’s as simple as holding down on a tweet and selecting the trash icon.
Block and Report as Spam – You can now block and report users as spam.
Enhanced Menu – Twitter v10.0.1 allows you to do more from the timeline, with new options to “Quote Tweet” after selecting “Retweet” as well as “Open Tweet” to view the tweet details page.

LinkedIn:

LinkedIn Messages – LinkedIn v10.0.1 allows you to quickly message your connections from their profile page.
Enhanced Job Search tools – With LinkedIn v10.0.1, you now have access to view, search and save jobs that are ‘Recommended’ for you.
LinkedIn Today – Choose the LinkedIn news that matters the most, by filtering the news by Industries you are interested in.
Better Image Viewing – LinkedIn v10.0.1 provides full screen viewing of LinkedIn profiles for an enhanced visual experience.
