Update Your Twitter Posts in iGoogle!
If you use Twitter to stay in touch with your friends, you know there are several ways to update your status. Why not eliminate a whole window on your computer by adding this great gadget to your iGoogle page. It’s called BeTwittered and it’s a great way to send a quick tweet out. And since it’s on your iGoogle page, it’s right there for you.
So now you can tell your friends what you’re ‘up to’. Currently the guys who make betwittered have it so you can turn on and off the user pictures and choose whether or not to have timestamps, but again, they’re planning more. Now you don’t have to have a separate tab or window open to tell your friends you are trying that new recipe or sitting on boxes of stuff!
The writers of this gadget are from 32hours.com and are working to allow multiple accounts and direct message selections. If you don’t use Twitter just yet, try it! (and remember, you can do these updates right from iGoogle!) Take a look at this video for a great explanation!

@Aaron twitter is a microblogging service much like txt messaging to the web since you’re limited to 140 characters. Lots of interesting people on there, mostly tech, but also Sen. Obama’s campaign, Henry Rollins, EthanK who’s in the music business and gives a wonderful insider’s view and has access to top artists to ask questions.
