Add TwitterLit to your Gmail Sidebar!

Gmail Labs has just introduced a way to add gadgets to your sidebar in Gmail. (Here's their blog post.) I've tweaked TwitterLit's Google Gadget so that it will fit neatly in the available space. Here's how it looks:

You can add TwitterLit to your Gmail in two easy steps:

1. In your Gmail account, click the green Gmail Labs bottle at the top right of the screen. Scroll down to "Add any gadget by URL," click enable, and save changes.

2. Now go into your settings--which is right next to the green Gmail Labs bottle. Click the "Gadgets" link. And in the input box under "Add a gadget by its URL:" add this address:

That's it! The TwitterLit gadget should show up in your sidebar. You'll never have to go without first lines again.
