The link in the Tweet leads to a blog entry that says among other things, this:
This is the news you’ve been waiting for! I am thrilled to tell you that we are about to officially resume our rollout of BBM for Android and iPhone customers around the globe!* In the next few hours, people will start seeing BBM in Google Play, the App Store and in select Samsung App Stores – where it will be free to download.
You can expect a whole lot of people to be downloading BBM if what BlackBerry says is accurate. Based from the amount of noise that was generated from the shutdown of the original rollout, I have no doubt that it is accurate. This should be very interesting.
UPDATE: Apparently 5 million iOS and Android users have downloaded BBM. This Tweet indicates they’re moving on to the next 5 million:

UPDATE #2: Now they’re up to 10 million:
