GMail has a wide reach throughout the world.

Because having Twitter inside GMail is just awesome. TwitterGadget is a simple text box that sits on the lower left corner of the GMail window below the chat list. Most users keep their GMail open in a tab everytime they are online. So, when they need to tweet something all they need to do is go to GMail and tweet from there. Checking your mails and tweeting - both done in a single open tab! Aint it simple?

Installing TwitterGadget inside GMail is quite simple. Just follow the steps mentioned below.

The gadget may appear too small at the beginning and you may even start doubting whether you can properly tweet from it. But, there are an awesome lot of functionalities you may not even imagine. The 'Advanced Section' shows that you can almost modify everything in the gadget. The user can choose a variety of themes for the gadget or one can even choose to bring in his/her own Twitter.com profile colours here. The height of the gadget can be increased.
Keyboard shortcuts can be enabled/disabled. I find this shortcuts to be another awesome functionality in this gadget. Listing down the few basic shortcuts for easy tweeting:

You can create two types of groups - the one which filters tweets based on your interest and the other which filters tweets from your family and friends. After going through millions of tweets,Tweetizen's filtering mechanism provides the users with the pertinent tweets by taking the user's tags and keywords into consideration.

Steps

  • Create a group and select the type.
  • Enter either keywords and tags or username depending on the group type.
