Stay connected to Twitter from Gmail with TwitterGadget

twittergadget Stay connected to Twitter from Gmail with TwitterGadgetTwitterGadget is Twitter client that you need if you’re really into Twitter. Unlike other client based Twitter client such as Thwirl, which is useful, but consume another memories and CPUs power, TwitterGadget lives on Gmail (and iGoogle or other app that support widget). You save more resources here.

I used to left Gmail opened in web browser when I’m online doing my work or in the office, so does everyone else, I believe. So that’s how TwitterGadget complement Gmail. You get your email and Tweeter in same place , same page. Installation is straight forward by following this link.

By default, TwitterGadget appear on Gmail’s sidebar like the screen on the right side. It is small, but just nice to show any tweet update. No worry, as it can be re-sized to full screen, by clicking the double arrow located on the widget title.

When you’re login for the first time, there is option if you would like to set Twitter to refresh in certain time interval, which is highly recommended. Otherwise, you won’t be able to see the tweet updates.

Twittergadget also is ’shortcut-rich’ applications. You’ll find the shortcut provided are very useful to get maximum out of from this application. But remember, this shortcut can only be used in larger view screen.

If you’re not using Gmail or Google, don’t worry as you can still view it directly from the web browser by following this link. It has the same feeling and looks as the widget version.
