Postbox e-mail app introducing version 1.1.1
The e-mail app Postbox, aiming to be in between Apple Mail and Microsoft Entourage in terms of features and style, released version 1.1.1 on Monday, adding in tighter OS X integration.
From within the app, you can now use Spotlight to search for your e-mail messages and attachments. You can also, by setting Postbox as your default email client, have it work two-way with iCal, brining over notifications and events. Of course the integration now also features a full integration with the built-in address book of Mac OS X and as a bonus, you can now create a new email message by just dragging a file on top of the dock icon.
Postbox is available for $39.95 from their website and will require Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
TweetDeck Adding YouTube and Flickr
TweetDeck is becoming more of a social media mega-app as they rolled out their latest version, v0.33. In this version, they are adding, apart from the already existing support for Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, support for YouTube and Flickr as well.
Also added to the new version (as if being able to watch movies and photos from it wasn’t enough), is a new column navigator feature, aiming to make it simpler to browse through all the columns you are adding.
If you currently run the application, you will be getting an auto upgrade in the next few days from the app. If you’d like to try out TweetDeck, it is a free download.
