I am a Gmail addict power user so naturally I was intrigued when I found out someone had built a Gmail gadget for Twitter… So you can access your Twitter account directly in Gmail!
Here’s a walkthrough for setting it up. First, you must enable gadgets in Gmail…
First, add the gadget…
Secondly confirm access to your Twitter account…
Third – Receive confirmation and close the tab
Last – Click “Twitter” on your Gmail gadget to load your Twitter stream!
And poof! Your Twitter stream has been integrated with your inbox!
By the way – are you following me on Twitter?

Woah, this is substantially different than the Twitter Gadget I wrote about in the past, this one actually looks usable! Great to see the OAuth workflow in there too, I’m really happy with the way that turned out.
Yes the client is very smooth and actually extremely usable.. OAuth integration was a huge plus!
Gadget installed… time to knock another 10% off productivity :)

Hah I know! Making Twitter that much more accessible and easy to use is definitely hurting productivity.. Oh well – I think there are residual benefits..
The “Twitter” portion of the highlight on the left isn’t clickable for me. I thought it was my theme, but I changed themes and still nothing happens. Bummer.
Same problem as Kita for me. I can connect my Twitter account to Gmail and my picture shows up but I cannot get to they home screen clicking on the left.
Tried both Firefox 3.0.8 and 3.6a1pre
I’m having the same problem now too – as of late last week. I’ll see if I can find out why!
Do we have a solution for this?
