Integrate Twitter, Facebook to Gmail – Explained with Screenshots

I’m very excited after realizing that I can actually integrate Facebook and Twitter to my Gmail Account. And therefore, I can access all my social profiles right from my Gmail. Things would definitely slowdown a little bit, but you will have all the conveniences of accessing Google Buzz, Facebook, Twitter and the Emails all from a single place called Gmail.

After getting to the Labs section, scroll down to the very bottom of the list to find. “Add any Gadgets by URL”. Well, “enable it” and then “Save the changes”.

Now, move to the top and select “Gadgets” link.

Here comes the important section. Use the URL’S mentioned below to add Facebook and Twitter to your Gmail account.
