[...] Email Tip: Save Time and Stress with One New Folder on Web Worker Daily: This makes a big difference in managing my Twitter account. Early on, it was no big deal as I only received a couple of emails a day. That’s climbed a lot. This small step made a huge difference for this organized gal. [...]

Well there is a better option – turn off the incoming emails! You can adjust the settings at these sites so you don’t get email notifications… and if you log into these sites regularly anyway, you don’t need additional emails telling you what’s gone on in your absence.

Thanks so much for posting this. I can’t believe I didn’t think of it sooner – I’ve been using the GMail filter for *other* mail that’s swamping my account, but not for Facebook and Twitter.

Excellent! This will *actually* save me time, unlike all those other productivity tips I see on the intardwebs.

Much appreciated.

@Reza, thanks for sharing the add on. I bet a lot of folks will appreciate it. Can’t beat the price.

@Dave, I think a lot of us are finding we’re getting to the point where social networking is a regular part of our careers. Hadn’t come across NutshellMail.com. Just looked at it — sounds like a great service for those wanting more organization and control over social networks.

I couldn’t believe it when I read this post. I just set up a folder with the same exact name in my GMail account last week. I have all of my FriendFeed, Twitter, and Facebook emails go there. I also subscribed to NutShellMail and have those emails go there too.

I like NutshellMail because it shows you new followers and quitters on Twitter as well as a brief overview of Twitter and FB activity.

Thanks Meryl. Great tip.

I’ve been also using Xobni. It’s an add on to Outlook (Basically Inbox backward) It gathers all the emails and contacts in one place.

What I like about it, it also goes to all the social media and get the pictures and other info and displays them right there for you. And when you look for an email, you just type-in the name that you are looking for, and it shows all sort of info and emails that you had with this person. It even shows people who were CC’d on emails.

Its worth trying. It’s free. (To help them out however you have to type-in few words every now and then, which I think is fine.)
