Monitor Your Social Networks Through Email

Feb 18, 2009 Facebook, Internet, Online Tools, social networking

UPDATE:  You can also use this service from NutshellMail.com, rather than just the Facebook application.

Yesterday Mashable broke news about a new Facebook application that monitors your social networking and email accounts and sends recent activity straight to the email address of your choice.  The application, called NutshellMail, allows you to select at what times and on what days you want to receive email updates.  It only informs you of certain Facebook activity, including new messages, friend requests, group invites, friend invites, and unread pokes.  However, you can also get updates from LinkedIn, MySpace, Twitter, and any other email address that you dread checking all of the time.  I’m extremely pumped that it doesn’t tell me every time your mom threw up on my super wall or asked me to be an interior decorating pirate.  Whew.

NutshellMail is enormously beneficial for me.  I have two Facebook profiles, manage three Twitter accounts, have two personal email addresses, a work email address, and a profile on all of the sites I listed above.  Rather than logging into all of these every day with the possibility of being distracted from my real work, I can simply read the email from NutshellMail email as I do several others throughout the day to catch up on the latest.

Installing the application is pretty easy – just go to the application page, click “Go to Application”, and follow the instructions.  Don’t forget to check your inbox to verify your email account so you can start receiving updates.

Hope many of you find this free application as beneficial as I do.
