PRESS RELEASE
Meshtop simplifies social networking via Outlook plug-in.

BELLEVUE, Washington, April 20, 2010 – Today Meshtop launched an Outlook plug-in that organizes Facebook, Twitter and MSN social networks into the popular email client. As social networking services (SNS) become more important to maintain business and personal contacts in the professional world, Meshtop helps users link email addresses with their respective contacts on Facebook, Twitter and MSN, bringing ease and organization to the use of multiple social networking mediums.
Meshtop’s plug-in displays as an expandable sidebar in Outlook and searches through Outlook, Facebook, Twitter and MSN contacts to discover links between accounts, recommending suggestions to link possible matches. Expanding Meshtop to the Network view offers an intuitive way to organize contacts by creating groups and tagging contacts. These organizational tools achieve the company’s goal of simplifying SNS’s to reap their benefits more effectively.
This release of Meshtop is compatible with Outlook 2003 and 2007, which is ideal for the majority of Outlook users. In addition, Meshtop for Outlook 2010 (beta) is slated to be released later this month to accommodate those who have already upgraded.
As online social interaction continues to increase, Meshtop will release a series of products to manage and link contacts from various SNS’s, saving time and increasing productivity by bridging the gap between social network mediums.

Highlighted Meshtop Features:
• Contact management through visual networks – Right click to group multiple friends by tagging or to send them emails.

• Upload photos to Facebook – Batch upload local photos and captions as well as comment on friends’ photos.

• Browse your friends’ Facebook photos either online/offline – Meshtop will schedule a sync-up to Facebook to download the latest photos from your friends, which is a great feature for the business traveler who may not have constant access to an internet connection.

• Integration of Facebook OpenStream and Tweets into Outlook – Easily follow and interact with friends’ latest updates. Meshtop offers the option to view just Facebook or Twitter updates, as well as combining them into one list.

• Monitor trending topics and search real time topics on Twitter in Outlook – In addition to this search function, Meshtop saves custom search queries for repeated use.

• Publish your status simultaneously to Facebook, Twitter and MSN – in the “What are you doing?” field, Meshtop also offers URL shortening and photo sharing from TinyURL, Bit.ly, and TwitPic.

• Intelligent contact mapping connects Outlook contacts with Facebook and Twitter profiles – Meshtop’s intelligent match engine will find your friends’ social profiles between Outlook, Twitter, Facebook and MSN and combine the information into one contact card.
