Manage Your Twitter Account in Outlook with TwInbox

Most hardcore Twitter users rely on TweetDeck or a similar program to read, tweet, retweet, and all that. But such programs aren't exactly boss-friendly: They instantly betray the fact that you're not working.

Enter TwInbox, which lets you manage your Twitter account inside Outlook via a simple toolbar. I was going to whip up a helpful video to show you the ropes, but this guy already did a pretty complete (and amusing) job of it:

Cool, huh? My only real complaint with TwInbox is that it limits you to one Twitter account. Consequently, I'm still using Splitweet to manage my multiple Twitter accounts. But TwInbox is definitely handy when I want to blast out a tweet without leaving Outlook.

And for those of you with just one Twitter account, TwInbox may be the best thing to happen to Outlook since Xobni. Best of all, it's free! I highly recommend checking it out.
