OutTwit’s latest version (0.5.2.34) comes with an extremely handy Preview feature that lets you read and post tweets from the Outlook toolbar itself. Twittering had never been so easier!
Preview supports the following actions:

If you are a windows user & have been trying to sync the calendar on your iPhone with your Google Calendar, try these steps:
That’s it!
Google Calendar Sync offers three types of Sync Options between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar.
Limitations Google Calendar Sync will only sync events from your primary Google Calendar and your default Microsoft Outlook calendar at this time.
Other solutions OggSync OggSync is feature rich, for more advanced Google Cal users. It supports Multiple Google Calendars and Multiple Outlook Calendars Import Google Colors, Google Calendars mapped to Outlook Categories etc
However, OggSync is not free. I have not tried it yet (38MB installer? Huh!)

KallOut is the first application to bring “selection-based search” to any web page, email, presentation, document, spreadsheet or PDF. Unlike other search methods that are trapped inside the browser, KallOut serves up content from the most popular sites on the web inside floating information palettes (which we call KallOuts). Using only your mouse, you can now avoid the disruption of launching a browser and let KallOut bring you the best the web has to offer. Socialmention allows you to track conversations about you, your company, a new product, or any topic across the Web’s social media landscape.
KallOut is impressive. SocialMention’s Blog search is great.. while Microblogs search lags.
Exporting Outlook data from Windows to Mac (Apple Mail, Entourage) is quite a cumbersome task. If you aren’t planning on using any additional software, you’ll have to go through Outlook express or Thunderbird. The steps are far from being easy, yet the results are quite error prone.
Another glowing review on my favorite GTD software – TechHit’s Simplyfile.
