Integrating Facebook and Twitter into Gmail

Google has just launched Google Buzz , which "has stormed the web like a swarm of locusts. An array of strong features, integration with Gmail, and lots of press have turned Buzz into an overnight phenomenon" (courtesy: Mashable) . But for me, it was a bit disturbing and a BORING!!

Some of us know and MOST of us are unaware of the fact that we are actually able to integrate Twitter and Facebook into our Gmail. YES!! it is possible.. And by doing so, u won't have to sacrifice tweeting and facebooking.

By using third party gadgets, we'll be able to club Facebook, Twitter and Gmail into a same window! Aint that good?

Here I'll be giving a step by step procedure on HOW TO INTEGRATE FACEBOOK AND TWITTER INTO GMAIL.

Step 1: Go to Gmail Labs and activate "Add any gadget by URL". You'll be able to find it towards the bottom of the list.

Step 2: After completing step 1, go to Settings -> Gadgets.

Step 3: Add the TwitterGadgetApp, by copy-pasting the below mentioned URL on to Gmail Gadget Settings.

Step 4: Next, we add the Facebook Gadget, the same way we added the TwitterGadgetApp.

Copy-paste the below mentioned URL on to Gmail Gadget Settings.
