Twitter in Your Outlook

As a huge fan (or perhaps, addict) of micro-blogging platform, Twitter, I was really thrilled to have found this great add-in for Microsoft Outlook: OutTwit. The OutTwit add-in integrates Twitter with Outlook, letting you send and receive messages directly to Twitter from your mail client. All your Twitter friend updates will show up as Outlook messages in your inbox by default, but you can change this in the settings to have the messages sent to a particular folder instead. You can also configure custom categories for messages and shorten URLs using TinyURL, something most Twitter users do to keep their messages under the 140 character limit. Let the time-wasting begin!
