Almost More than 1000 people use TwitterMail.com right now and more than 4000 messages have been posted to Twitter.com with TwitterMail. Time to introduce something new! Lennaert and Bram have been working on a ‘MSN to Twitter’ service and just launched their product (in beta, of-course) named TwitterMSN.com. I have been testing it today and it works flawlessly.
