Motoblur (often stylized as MOTOBLUR) is a discontinued Android user interface and push-based service focused on social networking, developed by Motorola. It first appeared on the Motorola Cliq/Motorola Dext in 2009 and last shipped on 2011 model Androids.
It aimed at functional similarity to Palm's Synergy, including such features as Remote Wipe. Motoblur included a variety of widgets which combined various social networking portals such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter as well as other services (news or weather reports) all in one place. It also combined multiple email accounts and contact communication sources into singular notification views, being the first handset software to do so. Feeds and data were regularly pushed to these widgets.
