BlackBerry Celebrates One Year Of The Word BBM In The Dictionary

A year ago this past week, this got added to the Collins English Dictionary:

BBM

Abbreviation for

1. BlackBerry Messenger: an instant messaging application for BlackBerry devices

Noun

2. a message sent or received using BlackBerry Messenger

Verb

3. to send a message using BlackBerry Messenger

 

Clearly this was a recognition of the global popularity of the instant messaging service that is best known for secure real-time mobile communication. BlackBerry is hoping for a reboot of BBM popularity when it brings BBM to Android and iPhone devices. BBM will make one of BlackBerry’s most asked-for features available to Android and iPhone users demanding a seamless, private and immediate messaging experience.
