Have “they” blocked Twitter and other social media sites in your workplace?

Do you have email?

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

Nutshell Mail allows you to receive updates from Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and LinkedIn. Once you receive your updates via email, there are buttons on which you can click to seamlessly reply and post as if you were in that particular application.

I set up my Twitter account as an example, so I could show you some screenshots of NutshellMail.

The sign-up process for NutShell Mail took me about three minutes.

In the email Nutshell Mail sent me to click to confirm my account, I got my first updates, which included my latest five direct messages and @replies, the latest accounts that have unfollowed my account, my latest 10 updates from any lists I maintain and/or follow, and the latest five tweets from the public timeline. Your maximum items per email can be changed. See the image below:

Nutshell Mail will also show you tweets based on any search terms you’ve saved.

When I clicked the reply link in my email, it took me to the following screen.

Notice all the choices I have: reply, retweet, DM or add this person to a list. Cool, huh? And, all from my email Inbox.

UPDATE: I left out the fact that NutshellMail will also let you monitor all your email accounts.
