Kabutr is a neat little service that lets you read your Twitter timeline and send tweets right from your email. You can then “use the capabilities powered by your email client to tag, star, filter, remember, search, and forward tweets.” Finding the right Twitter client or having to navigate to the site constantly can be a pain. Kabutr makes Twitter enjoyable with its ease of use and convenience.
To get started you’ll need to login with your Twitter account via OAuth, and then enter your email address. Once you click the validation link in the email they send you (right away), you’ll be all set to get started.
In a little while you’ll start receiving tweets in your email. It is suggested that you create an email filter to organize your tweets and inbox. You can create a filter for emails coming from the address “tweets@kabutr.com“. You will get an email with this plus other useful tips on using the service.
You will also receive your own custom email address that will be used for sending and replying to tweets. If you want to reply to a tweet, simply reply to the email message (the subject will be ignored). You can even attach images and files to the email and they will be automatically hosted and shared via a short URL.
If you want to stop receiving tweets, you can pause the service via the Kabutr website.
You can use the features of your email service to help optimize Kabutr. For instance, you can search for tweets by username or keyword using the email search function. You can use tags/labels to further organize and filter your tweets. For instance, you can put tweets from a certain user in its own separate folder, or you can put your replies in another folder.
There are a quite a few features that will be coming soon also.
You’ll be able to:
- Select users to exclude from your emails.
- Automatically shorten or split messages that exceed the 140 character limit.
- Shorten URLs.
- and more
So now that you see how Kabutr makes tweeting easy as 1, 2, 3, go ahead and give it a try!
