Hotkeys for Twitter and BBM

Today Inside Blackberry posted the Hotkey shortcuts for you Berry. If you do not already know the Hotkeys for Twiter for Blackberry(T4BB) and Blackberry Messenger (BBM) then her you go!

FYI: Many of the hotkeys apply only to a full QWERTY keyboard. Luckily, there are shortcuts for us condensed QWERTY keyboard users with BlackBerry® Pearl™ 3G 9100 smartphones (please note that these are shortcuts for the 20-key variant of the condensed keyboard)! Check ‘em out:
