Here at Twittown we do not use Microsoft Outlook, but we know that millions of people do, it is the top email client in the world most probably. Here is a twitter tool for those of you who are avid MS Outlook users. It is called Outtwit and it is a twitter client for Outlook. You can follow your friends and tweet directly from Outlook. We haven't tested it but for those who do, let us know how it is in the comments!

Here is some info from the download page:

"If you are an Outlook user, you probably have it open all the time. Now you can update your Twitter status and follow your friends without having to open any other applications. OutTwit seamlessly integrates Twitter into Outlook. Download OutTwit today.

Features

* Update your Twitter status directly from Outlook.
* Receive your friend updates as Outlook messages.
* Configurable new message check interval.
* Assign custom categories to new messages.
* Shorten URLs with tinyurl."

On the back of Twittergram , the service to send voice / audio messages over Twitter, Dave Winer is at it again. Developing more useful Twitter mashups that is.

This time his creation is called "Twitter for Pictures ". Fred Wilson at A VC is calling it Twickr . It is a mashup of Twitter and Flickr where you can send a picture to Flickr and then it automatically updates your twitter subscribers. Pretty cool.

UPDATE - Here is the actual Flickr to Twitter page , it is only in limited trial so you will need to ask Dave for a chance to try it. 

This is a neat tool that was brought to our attention by Shadowscope . Basically it is a service that you can enter your mileage when you fill up your car, then the service does all the mileage and calculations that you could want.

The cool thing about it is that you don't have to wait till you get home on the web, you can enter the details via twitter, right at the pump. Very cool!

My Mile Marker is here.

"Tweet your Google Calendar " is the tagline that Twittercal has at the top of their website. As the range of Twitter applications grows it seems logical that more and more productivity ideas and ways to use Twitter in this regard will come to light.

Twittercal is a twitter bot that allows you to send a special coded message via twitter, through any twitter channel (web, sms, mobile, twitter client etc.) that will update your calendar at Google.

While it is a good idea in theory, I would have thought that most business people have a blackberry or other smartphone that does calendar already. Then again, maybe this isn't only for business people!!

Thincloud has released a cool web based Twitter client built just for the iPhone .

It even uses SSL to encrypt your login credentials.   

With the constant updating, tweets and twittering going on, we all thought we were in the know and keeping our friends right up to date, to the second, right? Chris24.ca , the developer of Tweetahead doesn't think so, he can help you to do one better. He (and Tweetahead) can help you to Tweet into the future! Yup, you heard right, you can set up tweets now and deliver them into the future.   The possibilities are endless.  Now you can even automate yourself on Twitter!

The Tweet Ahead app is available as a Mac OS X dashboard Widget and can be downloaded here .

There is also a Tweet Ahead web page but we are not exactly sure what it does.  There is no info and it just asks you for a user ID and password.  We weren't comfortable entering our Twitter ID in here when we don't even know what the site is for or what it does.  

Anyway, the concept is cool.  If anyone has more details, let us all know in the comments.
