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.

https://twittergadget.appspot.com/gadget-gmail.xml

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.

Refer to the screenshots.

Facebook Gadget

Thats it..!! Now Buzz, Twitter and Facebook are wrapped together in a single packet!! Now you don't have to sacrifice tweeting and facebooking even if u are bloody addicted to BUZZing.. :)

Along with all that.. I am putting forward a question.. With all those Buzz, FB and Twitter along with Gmail, Ain't that information overloading.??? :(

Themes for Google Chrome..!!!

New themes for Google Chrome.. That sounded like a "wow" to me. I tweeted about it last week but didn't blog it as there were some problems with installing some themes. Now, after some update and stuff, the UI looks cool.

Now to install some themes..
Plan A
Go to Settings -> Options -> Personal Stuff -> Get Themes

You'll be directed to the Google Chrome Themes Page .
Plan B
Go to https://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en/themes/index.html and try out one by one. Save them in one folder.

Sad that Chrome does not provide any kind of option such as Theme Selector. If you need to change the current theme, then you'll have to double click on the theme file you've downloaded, and thats where we find Firefox as a better option..!!

For me, some of the themes were so bright(Vertical Stripe , Legal Pad , Color Chips) and some were so pleasing. Anyway, its time for you people to try the new look for your chrome. Here are the screen shots of some themes which i like.
