Gmail Power Tips: How To Integrate Your Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Friendfeed In Your Gmail

We all love Google and its very famous web mail service, Gmail. I think that Gmail is the best email client as compared to others. Even I had tried lots of other services too but I always came back to Gmail. And after Google enabled the sidebar gadget service in last October, I proudly become the loyal user of Gmail. The best part is these gadgets really worked well on my Gmail sidebar and they don’t even clutter the interface.

Everyday lots of applications are made by Google and third-parties to add tons of functionality to Gmail and to make it a one platform for all.

In this article, I’ll be covering different types of gadget you can use in your Gmail account including Social Networking Gadgets for Gmail.

Step By Step Guide to Integrate Gadgets in your Gmail Sidebar

Activate the Custom Gadgets in Labs

To start using this amazing feature, you have to first enable the service. To do that, go to Settings –> Labs and enable “Add any gadget by URL” which you will find in the bottom of Gmail window and click “save changes”.

How to add Gadgets

Click on Gadgets tab, and enter the gadgets URL into “Add a gadget by its URL” and click “Add” button.
