- seldon452, on 12/13/2008, -3/+27yo dawg I heard you like social media so we put social media in your social media so you can pretend to have a life while you pretend to have a life.
- iJessicaRabbit, on 12/13/2008, -1/+13No... I've stayed away from Twitter this long. Damnit google; this one I will not enable.
- Shaggy6ster, on 12/13/2008, -0/+12neither have i. i dont really see the point.
- linagee, on 12/13/2008, -0/+11"I'm reading my emails."
"I'm reading my emails."
"I'm reading my emails." - momegao, on 12/12/2008, -2/+11I have never used Twitter, maybe now I will while check the emails :D
- BullHunter, on 12/13/2008, -0/+7More distractions to get less done in more time
- mal1964, on 12/13/2008, -0/+5""keeping it simple" is what made them famous."
But adding more useful tools made them rich. - tattokris, on 12/13/2008, -0/+5I added SMS and Twitter to my gMail at the same time from my Chrome that I run on my Android G1 and I think I created a small black hole in my living room.
- CaptainShaun, on 12/13/2008, -2/+7I've missed something. This twitter seems to be very popular, but from the brief glimpses I've seen, it's basically the same as the status updates on Facebook. I haven't updated mine since August and I don't see the appeal. Is there something more to Twitter, Digg community?
Thanks. - Spoomeister, on 12/13/2008, -0/+4***** Twitter.
- steviesteveo, on 12/13/2008, -0/+4About 10-15 years ago that would have been almost literally a foreign language.
- birdFEEDER, on 12/13/2008, -0/+4I happen to be one of the two developers of TwitterGadget. It started as a widget for your iGoogle homepage and was expanded to work within Gmail. As such, the two versions are quite similar except that Gmail only allows a small narrow column on the left while iGoogle allows for a wider widget. What seems to come into question the most is the UI of TwitterGadget within Gmail.
I'm very curious and open to hear suggestions (or feature-requests) on how this could be improved... Oh, and we're glad to know that we are contributing to mass-procrastination everywhere...
Procrastinate Now!
:D - BuzzEdition, on 12/12/2008, -4/+8LOL...now you have to take the Twitter plunge ;)
- Bakdan87, on 12/13/2008, -1/+4There really isn't that much else going on, except that you get the added advantage of not having to use facebook. Keep it simple.
- RobotBuddha, on 12/13/2008, -0/+3It all amounts to the people you're following. I work from home, and have a lot of other people in the same boat that I follow. Which makes it pretty much like a big snowball irc session throughout the day with more centralized logging and social networking aspects added in. Really the main difference is that it's not so insular. Instead of just being a channel devoted to, say, kde developers anyone's network can quickly expand into people you'd never think to associate with.
Plus you can get twits from John Hodgman. That validates its existence right there. - mikeabundo, on 12/13/2008, -2/+5'Sup dawg, we heard you like to tweet, so we put Twitter in your Gmail so you can tweet while you mail.
- Zergvasion, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2Tommy: You better pray to the god of skinny punks that this wind doesn't pick up, cos I'll come over there, and jam an oar up your ass.
- janinekahn, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2Love love love this. Thank you Digg!
- Photar, on 12/12/2008, -3/+5I like the part with the twitter.
- Typhoon2009, on 12/13/2008, -2/+4Can someone explain what exactly Twitter is for? Just looking at their home page, it seems like an entire site that does what Facebook's status updates do.
- conorkirk, on 12/13/2008, -3/+5yo dawg.
- markedOne, on 12/15/2008, -0/+2damn, thought I was the only one thinking exactly that...
- dxgg, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2This is completely useless. You can't really follow other people's tweets properly with such a narrow column. Now, give me the full Gmail width, with the ability to make columns for groups (incoming, replies, friends, etc) and I might be interested. I guess I'm asking for TweetDeck inside Gmail. Groovy.
- brandita, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2Please for the love of productivity no!
- w00master, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2That's about it.
- RafiParrr, on 12/13/2008, -1/+3Perhaps, but the more of this stuff I see the more it's obvious that they're moving to create an online OS, accessible from any computer with an internet connection. I have no idea how they plan to monetize something like Twitter inside of Gmail, but it's exciting to think of where they're taking all these services.
And as always, if you want simple, you can still just go to google.com and get just that. - RobotBuddha, on 12/13/2008, -0/+1Twhirl's pretty cool too, in actually proving to me that air was worth looking into.
- zoydberg, on 12/13/2008, -1/+2First off you can sms twitter @ 40404, you can add friends on twitter who are bots, @gcal can post events to your google calender, @woot for all things woot, there was just a woot-off too! @twanslate for translations, @multimap = maps, directions and local info, and this can all be done through texts, I dont really follow to many ppl on twitter, i just use it for its practicality
- verevi, on 12/13/2008, -1/+2Here ya go. Amir explains it best:
http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/63051851/twitter - jeffvvisoft, on 01/27/2009, -0/+1Twitter should be renamed to ***** for all the micro-blogging diarrhea it collects
- CaptainShaun, on 12/13/2008, -0/+1So it's basically just blogging but smaller?
- dronkmunk, on 12/13/2008, -2/+3I'm afraid I cannot Digg you up enough.
- cmsjustin, on 12/13/2008, -0/+1Buried for Mighty Mouse
- MScrip, on 12/13/2008, -1/+2Yeah... it's called Micro-Blogging
- QNXX, on 12/13/2008, -0/+1I'm not sure what you're being dugg down for, but for people who don't live on their computers, are out and about more frequently than they sit and have a cell phone they use everything for, this is a pretty decent utility I do the same thing you do @zoydberg
- davidlt, on 02/15/2009, -0/+1I love Gmail and I like Twitter, together though? I don't think so.
http://twitter.com/ductcleaningmn - jeffvvisoft, on 01/27/2009, -0/+1A blackhole for VC funding
- izolutionz, on 12/13/2008, -1/+2Imagine that...
Twit: I'm writing an email...
[writes e-mail]
Twit: There, sent.
twitter+gmail ftw! /s - Gareth321, on 12/13/2008, -1/+2I'm in the same boat Shaun. I rarely update my Facebook status (I think it's creepy for everyone to know what I'm going all day - or egotistical).
- jsortino, on 12/13/2008, -0/+1If you like TwitterGadget in gmail, you'll love it for iGoogle. The gmail version is a much paired down version of the fully functional iGoogle gadget, since the amount of space allocated / available to gadgets in gmail is extremely limited (read: width).
http://www.twittergadget.com/ - captcoolguy, on 12/13/2008, -0/+1***** losers!!
- realwat, on 12/13/2008, -0/+1I just tried it this morning under gmail. The view is too small under gmail, with iGoogle it's fine. Here's my suggestion for TwitterGadget under gmail, within the home tab, the user avatar disappears. It would be nice if you could shows the picture . It's nice to see the faces of people within Twitter. Just my two cents.
- Rambo77, on 02/25/2009, -0/+0Why do people hate twitter?
I like it! =D
http://sportsbetworld.net/ - happyfab, on 02/08/2009, -0/+0I like it !
