Are you addicted to Twitter? I know you are – you’re constantly refreshing so you don’t miss anything. There are tons of clients available to help you keep track of things. There’s even a special client is great to use when at work! Many bosses may freak out if they catch you using Twitter during working hours for some reason.

So, if you need to hide your tweets and use a Twitter client that looks a lot like a spreadsheet – check out Spreadtweet. You can choose your “layout” – from Office 2003, Office 2007 and Office OS X. Use whatever one fits your office, and makes it look as though you’re actually working! *wink*

If you don’t have Adobe Air, you can also try the web-based version. This way, you’d be working on a spreadsheet within a browser! How productive are you now?!

It’s Twitter. You know you love it. You know you’re addicted to it. You KNOW you have to have it!

Wow… this is awesome. It’s a lot less noticable then Tweetdeck or the Twitter website. Kudos to Elliot for this one. I have followed him on Twitter already and given him much praise. Thanks for letting us know Chris.

I think it is lovely that you encourage people to steal from their employers. They are getting paid to do their job, and instead, by all means, tell them they should twitter away their time instead of actually do their jobs. With unemployment rising and people being laid off from jobs, it might make sense to be productive at work and leave the nonsense for your private time. 60% of the people who sign on to Twitter don’t return the next month, which tells me this is a fad that’s going to fade soon unless Twitter comes up with another time waster for people. Here is my sincere hope…if you have any employees, I hope they all take your advice so that you are paying them to Twitter away your time.

If you’re at work, you should concentrate on your job.

Forget about cruising the web, going on Twitter, etc.

[...] Chris Pirillo recommends Spreadtweet which looks exactly like an Excel spreadsheet and can even be customized to match your version of Office. [...]
