Sigpad: Make your Email more Social

March 11th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in Tips N Tricks

Sigpad is an email signature tool that allows you to insert updates from your favorite social networking sites to your email messages in the form of email signatures. It will create a dynamic image signature for you that display your most recent update you made on your social networking account.

Supported Social Networking Sites

Twitter – Will display your latest Tweet

Flickr – Give updates to your latest uploaded photos.

YouTube – For latest uploaded videos

Yelp – Make your latest Yelp review seen as a signature

My Space – Display your top friends

Facebook – Share your status update

Feed Update- Displays the latest blog entry from your blog or favorite blog.

Quote of the Day – Give inspiration by sharing the Quote or the day. (Non Social)

To use the service, just select which type of email signature you want and you will be asked for your social networking profile URL or username. Choose which email service you want the signature to appear. Enter the username and password for your email. This works for Yahoo, Windows Live and AOL email accounts. If you’re concerned with your email security and hesitant to hand out your email username and password, you can choose the safer option that works on Gmail. It comes in the form of a bookmarklet. Just save the bookmarklet and press it every time you want to place your Email signature in Gmail.

Support for Windows Mail and Microsoft Outlook is coming soon. I personally, would like to see Mozilla Thunderbird added to the list.

Do you want your forum friends to see your twitter updates inside the forums? Tweetbars is a Twitter tool that you can use to create a dynamic gif image of your latest Twitter update in the form of a signature. You can then post that image in forums and in your own website(s).

How it works

Just provide TweetBars with your Twitter ID and press the generate button. TweetBars will create a code for you that you can use to post in forums and websites. A direct link to your TweetBar is also provided for you to check it out before posting.

What’s great about this is that it will only generate an image (GIF) code which is hotlinked to TweetBars. It will not slow down the loading time of the website by using scripts or widgets. It comes in the form of a thin image bar. Your TweetBar image will be updated a few minutes after you made your latest Twitter post.
Check out the sample below.
