Via Twitter, of course this morning, I found out about TwitterMail which lets gives you a special e-mail address that you can use to e-mail in Twitter updates:
How TwitterMail works
When you give us your Twitter credentials we supply you with a TwitterMail email address. For instance abcdef1234@twittermail.com. If you send an email to that address it will be posted to Twitter.com Source: TwitterMail.com – 392 people sent 1500 messages to Twitter!
I did a couple of tests, one from Outlook one from my Blackberry and that’s when it hit me…TwitterMail might be the last piece of the puzzle to Twitter for Business. I’ve talked a bit about this before and why is e-mail the last mile bit? Because if you activate Twitter on your cell, you might find yourself with a huge bill, e-mail though … well that’s a one off. A quick zap and you can tell people you’re on the the way, late, break news to the world.
I’ve been off Twitter for a bit, but I found Twitteroo today and that might get me back into the swing of things.
My company has released a small Outlook add-in which allows using Twitter from inside of Outlook. Since OutTwit runs in Outlook on your own computer, you don’t have to give your Twitter login credentials to a 3rd party service.

It was a fun weekend project :)
Today we launched TwitterMSN.com so you can also send updated via MSN. Very cool and useful!
We feel the same about TwitterMail.com! Suddenly it is so easy to Twitter on the road. And we noticed a lot of business users adopting our service too. Some people can’t even access Twitter from their offices and HAVE to use TwitterMail. Others just find it more convenient…
