Meshtop for Outlook 2010 also takes advantage of Facebook’s Open Graph API. You may browse your contacts by Facebook activity, Likes or Books (linked to profile information) in a floating panel.
Users who do have not yet upgraded to Outlook 2010 may still continue to use Meshtop for Outlook 2003/2007.
As online social interaction continues to increase, Meshtop is producing 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.
