TwitterGadget

April 9th, 2009

If you’re not a fan of Tweetdeck or Twirl and are looking for another Twitter client, check this out: TwitterGadget. This client allows you to submit status updates via iGoogle or Gmail. I won’t lie – this client looks pretty perky – and offers several nice features (the option to turn on/off thumbnails, timestamps, additional info about the user by hovering over the user’s icon, etc.).

However, I don’t think I’ll be using it. Why? I think it’s because 1) I’m stuck in my ways since I’ve found a method that works well for me, and 2) I’d still want to have several searches open (my own name, so I know what people are talking about in real time and other major news sources in the area), which means I may as well have several Twitter tabs open in a window anyway. -Why not use Tweetdeck then? Unfortunately for me, Tweetdeck doesn’t keep track of all of my friends. Lame.

But if you have a chance to play with TwitterGadget, please let me know what you think! I’m always looking for ways to be more efficient!

Welcome!

Hi, thanks for stopping by.

The past year has brought about many changes -- one, I'm no longer at the Chicago Tribune. After a great two years there, I've moved on to Creative Director at Consumer Media Network. I'm also no longer "acmaurer" technically, since I married my best friend in June '11. I'm now Amanda Woodhead, but between you, me and the Internet, I'll always be acmaurer. So thanks again for stopping by, and here's to some great conversations.

Want to find me on the Web? I'm acmaurer on most social news and networking sites.
PS, I doubt I have to say this, but this is my personal blog and doesn't reflect the opinion of my employer.
