How To Tweet At Work

If you’re one of those people who are absolutely addicted to Twitter (you know who you are) then no doubt you have tried to tweet from work. The only problem is Twittering from work isn’t exactly the most productive thing you can do on company time. And no doubt it wouldn’t go over very well with the boss. If your office has a work like a slave and don’t you dare Twitter in the office policy, then SpreadTweet is for you!

SpreadTweet is a Twitter client disguised as a spreadsheet! You can choose between Office OSX (shown above), Office 2003 (Windows) and Office 2007 (Windows). The boss will think you’re working hard on a big project when you’re really just goofing off and running the company into the ground because all you’re doing is Twittering.

All your tweets are displayed in plain text down the SpreadTweet page. You send a tweet by typing message in the top textbox and hitting the send button. There’s even tabbed views along the top so you can check your replies and direct messages, making SpreadTweet a relatively complete Twitter package.

Don’t blame me if you get fired!

John what you have done ... People are giving less productivity and this one of yours will keep their productivity more less.

ZK @ Web Marketing Blog’s last blog post: SEO Marketing by Digital Third Coast

Cool...but I don't have a PC that connects to the web at my work. Food for thought!

Michael Zhao’s last blog post: End of Second Week.

Really interesting tips..thanks to sharing it.

Hahahaha, this is funny.

I know several people who have been fired from their jobs do to their nefarious internet activities.

I guess you have to ask yourself, "Is it worth it, if I get caught and ultimately get fired?"

:)

-Ron

I'm with Jake on this one. TwitterBerry is much easier to use, less risk of you getting fired if you get caught.

TwitterBerry is good if you have a blackberry, and are working in an env't where your using your BB on the regular.

Hey John! Nice stuff you got here!

With this excel-like twitter application, definitely you can tweet at work without getting caught.

Technology keeps on improving and improving...

That is a pretty neat!

Scott Ford’s last blog post: Latest Video

Great Idea! for employees :)

That's pretty creative. Good thing I'm my own boss and don't have to hide my Twittering.

That is advice I would not want any of my CS to have. They already find ways to waste valuable time on the net. As a boss, I do not like it. As a blogger, twitter I like it... :)

But, I do not need to be sneaky :)

Laura’s last blog post: Welcome to FeedBurner

OMG -- how funny is this? John, you are naughty indeed. Why am I not surprised that this product exist to begin with and more importantly, Why am I not surprised that you would know about this "product"!! When I seen the title, I imagined a little John Chow in a classroom trying to get away with something behind teacher's back.
Too adorable. :)

Mrs. Right’s last blog post: Where can I find Private Label Right or Resales right on ebooks, topics on early childhood cultivation?

With the 2 Million people out of work right now, there's plenty of time to Twitter outside of the office.

Tran Harry’s last blog post: AIG Got Bailed Out, We’re Out Of Luck

Death to productivity. FULL TWEETS AHEEEEAD...

haha.... good one.... but not worth the risk... of losing your job :) .... Never like to see - 'Tweeting from work' and 'Just Fired from work for tweeting' :):)

Oh, that is good tips. Thank John. hahaha

clickktdotcom’s last blog post: Twtad Can Help You Make Money Online With On Twitter

LOL, nice tip. What if my boss reads JohnChow.com too?

JacobYap.com’s last blog post: Apple New “Get a Mac” Ads

But people need to remember, like they said on Facebook, don't be surprised that just because you got a spreadsheet looking application up, your employer or coworkers aren't secretly following your Twitter account already.

Well John, I know you would never need to use a script like this :)

-Mike

hey that's pretty cool

i just click "continue" each time i go to twitter because of the "websense" that blocks social networking - yet gives you the ability to click continue if it's "work related"

so we always use twitter anyways but this is a cool thing as well

Will you be tired of Twitter stuff..Its everywhere now. Every one is talking....just like that Susan Boyle....
Others are banking on service like this rather than the main company.
Even facebook is having a trouble and also google is loosing about 30 million/month on youtube..

This is very funny, I'm continually amazed by what folks keep developing or twitter. US Productivity is going to go down the tubes...

The Almost Millionaire’s last blog post: Tips for New Bloggers

want there an article recently saying that people that spend time on social networks are less smarter than those without those outlets?

you are right, productivity is really low, and its getting worse as people are growing up in a world where your either texting/IM'ing/Tweeting literally all day...

WHAT A CHEATER!!!! lol!!

Although I don't agree with running companies into the ground willy-nilly, I found this program pretty humorous. Pretty ingenious if you ask me!

Smart Boy Designs’s last blog post: Interview with Kevin Makice - Author of “Twitter API: Up and Running”

That spreadsheet is a little excessive. I use Twitter Fox as it is built into the lower right hand corner of my Firefox internet browser. I tweet at work because I run across many interesting real estate industry articles while catching up on my email.

Philip Nowak’s last blog post: Chicago Green Series 1 of 5: America’s Greenest City?

You know someone got busted to create that! Love the idea. Not something I have to worry about unless I fire myself.

Michael@TheBloggerSource’s last blog post: I Want People To Read My Blog - Reader Question

I guess I'll just stick with TwitterBerry but this is a cool little program!

that is a cool concept, but a little excessive for the "twitaholics" out there. Especially now when companies are looking to cut back on staff, one mistake could have you in the unemployment line.

Aman@BullsBattleBears’s last blog post: Wednesday Market Summary

Great idea!

Mike’s last blog post: Picking up domains on Snapnames

wow ... I think this is very good tips that apply to

Awesome. I can't wait to tell my friends about this.

Shame there isn't one for Facebook!

Dean Saliba’s last blog post: Follow Me On Twitter

So let me get this straight?! You are advocating wasting company time and money on Twitter?!

Wait...how did I grow my blogs again...by using...

Nevermind...great idea!

Nevermind...great idea!

Nice post, I seen this on a blog the other day and thought it was a great idea. The only downside is that you can't actually link on any of the links. However, it's nice to see who is clogging your stream with junk very easily.

Cheers,

I saw this on the news yesterday sounds pretty cool. This was like watching the final four. The website had a boss button where it would flip to spread sheet. Greg Ellison

haha... interesting tool...... If you are using firefox, the TwitterFox plugin is not bad as well.... But this is still the best in terms of hiding what you are doing.... ;)

hahahaha I hope I`m not getting fired because of tweter but might be I can get fired by visiting you all the time to learn more about make money online :D

Blogger Rise’s last blog post: Make Money Online Without Blog

Hahahah, that's real smart!! That still doesn't convince me to use my work hours for tweeting, but I'll definitely recommend this to my Twitter-addict friends.

Lorna’s last blog post: giuk.net: It’s alive… IT’S ALIVE!

Awesome, fortunately I don't need a thing like this, my work allows me to tweet whenever I want :)

Damn, now I'm sorry I'm working from home. I wanted to use this too! :))

V’s last blog post: Free hosting for Wordpress (and not only)

Awesome John! Creative and useful application for use while working :D

Just wanted to say that you seems to be very much Impressed with the Twitter as many posts coming from your way on Twitter. It is really fast growing community and i am sure soon they will eat up all competition.

Ricky Peterson’s last blog post: Sick of no page ranks?

It's a funny concept that use spreadsheet to tweet.
It seems twitter is a fast growing communication channel other than emails... very lovely.

Hurray for John! Hurray for Twitter addicts! LOL!
