Messing Around with OBA and TwitLook is Spawned

4/22/2009 5:39:34 PM

Twitlook-small Had a spare few minutes so I started messing around with OBA a bit and thought, “Hey, I spend a ton of time in Outlook... be kinda cool to see Twitter updates in there as well.”  So I spent about an hour and change and came up with version 0.1 of TwitLook.  No update, no ability to post... pretty much nothing but showing updates from my Friends.  I’ll bang away as I get time and if anyone is interested (leave a comment), I will eventually post the code and the add-in exe.

I know... the world really needs another Twitter client.  I don’t use Twitter clients, relying instead on the browser since I am in in frequent Tweeter and really only check it once in a while to see what others are talking about.  But it would be handy to have Tweets right in the place I spend most of my time.  So there ya go...

I'd be interested in this.  Especially if you can get it to update and if you can get the ability to send tweets through it.  You could even update Facebook with it, if you really got bored.

One thing I'd like to know is will the user be able to resize it?  And will it show the tweet as tooltips if you hover over the tweet?

Have a great daySmile
Patrick.
