iGoogle gadgets can be added to Gmail. Since that is not what they are originally made for, they can look a little weird or just not be of any use at all. But these two gadgets works!
The Twitter gadget is actually made for Gmail, and the great thing is that it goes "fullscreen", that is, instead of your email you see tweets! The same goes for Facebook, although it's originally made for
iGoogle. But it also goes fullscreen, you just have to click on "Expand" inside the gadget box.
To install them, just do the following:
1. Go to Settings –> Labs, find "Add any gadget by URL" and activate it.
2. Find a XML gadget for Gmail or iGoogle.
3. Go to Settings –> Gadgets, enter the gadget URL into the text box and click Add.
These are the gadget URLs:
Twitter - http://twittergadget.appspot.com/gadget-gmail.xml
