Most of my friends spend work on the Internet and always have their email open. Most of them are also what I would call “power” users and want to load only as many apps as necessary to save precious system resources. Since they are already in email, being able to send and receive tweets via email would be pretty slick indeed. OutTwit offers that ability to people who use Microsoft Outlook. The screenshots look great and I like the idea of organizing tweets using an email client. It’s something people are used to doing already anyway. The only complaint I’ve seen is for people who follow a ton of folks. They end up with a ton of extra emails! I’m sure a few settings tweeks and a rule/filter should reduce the clutter. Looks like a pretty solid twitter client.

Twittermail looks like a pretty cool project getting started by an OpenIdea. The basic idea is to use MailTwitterPHP, which is a email to Twitter gateway. Looks like this could be a pretty cool project, I’ll be keeping tabs on it.

Thanks to Nicki for the tip!

Update: Reading the comments of the OpenIdea I found mail2twitter which seems to be up and running already. Worth taking a look at if you want to email your Twitter updates — hint, those of you behind firewalls!
