Do you loooooove to use Twitter, but have a boss who just doesn't "get" the whole Twitter-thing? SpreadTweet is the answer: a Twitter client that looks exactly like a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

I've blogged a bit here about different twitter clients, but this one may be my new favorite. The brazenness of SpreadTweet is what wins it with me. It doesn't try to look like just any spreadsheet client, it actually mimics Microsoft Excel right down to the menu and graphical user interface.

Here's a hilarious bit from the author's website about the dubious legality of SpreadTweet:

Is this legal?
I dunno. Probably not.
Just to be on the safe side, downloading this software means
you absolve me of any and all responsibility.
Plus if I go to jail, you'll bring me cookies and beer.
And now you can't say I didn't warn you.

Brilliant.

Yeah, how about an Excel client that looks like Twitter?

I really want to confuse my boss, so can I somehow get a skin for my Excel that looks like I'm tweeting a lot of numbers?

I could see this tool getting most of the action between 9am and 5pm
