TwInbox is an handy Microsoft Outlook Plugin which lets you update, reply, search, and archive your Twitter messages right from your Outlook inbox. TwInbox seamlessly integrates Twitter into Microsoft Outlook providing a very efficient and productive access to Twitter right from Outlook. So if you use Twitter and Microsoft Outlook, you can simply install TwInbox and uninstall all the other Twitter clients (believe me, its good).

In my opinion, TwInbox is perfectly suited for those who are addicted to Twitter, but just don’t want their boss or colleagues to know that they are using Twitter at Work. ( I wrote about another Twitter App which allowed you to Tweet through an interface which looked like Spreadsheets. Read about in my post titled Hide Your Twitter Activity in a Spreadsheet with SpreadTweet )

Features provided by TwInbox

• Update your Twitter status directly from Outlook.

• Receive your friend updates in Outlook.

• Archive, manage, group and search your tweets the same way you manage your email.

• Search, track keywords. TwInbox will automatically download ALL tweets matching the keywords you specify, even if you are not following the tweet sender. This feature is perfect for keeping up to date with the Twitter buzz on your name, brand, interests, etc.

• Group tweets by sender, topic, etc using the Search feature.

• Upload and post picture files and Outlook email attachments.

• See new tweets at a glance.

• Assign custom folder and categories to new messages.

• Use Outlook’s “Reply” and “ReplyAll” commands to send twitter direct messages and @replies.

• Automatically sort new tweets into per-sender folders.

• Shorten URLs with tinyurl.

• Tweets sent to you (@replies and direct) are marked with high importance, so you can see them at a glance.

TwInbox is a free download for Microsoft Outlook. It works with both Microsoft Outlook 2003 and Microsoft Outlook 2007.
