I am not sure how many of you use twitter everyday. Also, I am also not sure how many of you use OUTLOOK to read and send emails. These two applications/ tools when combined can be a great combination as you would not need a separate application to use twitter and read/send emails.

I know that number of people who use both outlook and twitter are in minority which includes me, combining these two can help us save loads of time from our daily internet usage. TwInbox is freeware which integrates directly with outlook creating a killer combination.

Features

  • Receive your friend updates in Outlook.
  • Archive, manage, group and search your tweets the same way you manage your email.
