Great article buddy. Will definately use it for twitter.
Great article, but for me not much useful for 2 reasons, I do not use Facebook and Twitter and secondly my office outlooks cannot access outside network.
LOL Well I do use Facebook to some extent only and but i like the twitter addon as it comes in quite useful
way too much advertising on this site.
I’ve written a desktop app that lets users receive and send Facebook messages from a regular email client (www.fblocalmail.com); handling messages in this way would also let users leverage whatever tools they have for spam filtering and information management. I’m yet to include notifications (I’m developing it in my spare time), but support will be there eventually.
