Twitter Gadget
is a new tool that essentially allows you to have all of the main
features of
Twitter gadget inside of Gmail as a Google Gadget. It lets you
view your public timeline – which auto-refreshes up to every 3 minutes –
view replies and direct messages, and post updates.
To access it, you’ll first need to enable custom gadgets in Gmail,
which can be done from the Labs page under Settings. From there, you
just insert the URL via the news "Gadgets" link you'll have under
Settings - http://www.twittergadget.com/gadget_gmail.xml - at which
point you’ll be prompted for your Twitter login.
Fittingly, users are debating the usefulness
of this on Twitter, with some arguing it’s far too small to be
functional, while others think it makes Gmail even more of a sticky
one-place-for-everything application.
Personally, I think it fits somewhere in between downloadable clients
with lots of nifty natures and the Web interface, which requires an
extra tab in your browser. It’s useful, but probably not an all-out
replacement for accessing Twitter in one of the existing ways.
