I’ve now written a few reviews of apps or services that will allow you to conduct some aspect of your business or social networking life by way of your email inbox. If you are like me and spend more time communicating on your desktop than on the web, then you likely have tried a couple of these services. My latest foray into this particular product genre had been Tweety Mail, which enables users to use Twitter through any email inbox.
If you have used an app with a more limited scope such as Tweet Beep, or have tried a more robust option such as Nutshell mail, you may want to take a look at this new offering by the people who brought you Tweety Mail. It’s called the Friend Mail, and the current version is a beta release. However, the site claims this stage will be a short one, and the service will be fully realized in just a few weeks.
Right now, the service is free, although a pay for premium features version will likely soon follow. As the name suggests, The Friend Mail allows you to fully interact with your Facebook account via your email inbox.
What makes this service attractive for me is the ability to post updates and review activity not only on my FB profile account page, but I can access my fan pages as well. By sending an email to page@thefriendmail.com, you can post an update to all of your fans. By sending an email to news@thefriendmail.com, you can collect twenty updates from your account profile news stream. There are email addresses for specific activity whether posting and commenting or sharing and liking. You can even schedule activity for maximum engagement throughout the day. The sign-up process takes only a minute, the process is accessible, and so far all of my efforts to interact with my FB account and pages have been a breeze. If you’ve been looking for a way to post a Facebook update to your fan page via email, The Friend mail is for you.
