OutTwit’s latest release (#39) is packed with a number of powerful features – For example: Ability to save sent tweets, Keyboard shortcuts for posting tweets, Ability to filter incoming tweets based on Tweet type (FriendTimeline,@replies,Direct messages) to name a few.

In addition to all of that, one feature that I find particularly useful.. is the ability to Tweet my Outlook Tasks and Appointments.
OutTwit makes this almost painfully simple.
Follow these steps:

1. Go to your Tasks folder, select a Task.

2. Select “Retweet” from OutTwit drop down menu.

3. Change the tweet text if you’d like, and hit Update.

That’s all.
Along the same lines, you can Tweet your Appointments, Email messages.

2. Invoke Retweet command from OutTwit drop down menu.

3. Prepend the tweet text with “d rtm” and specify the reminder interval as needed. For example:

Twitter will send you a reminder for your Outlook Task item, as Direct message, at the specified time.
