Ever since I’ve been using Twitter for things like my adventures at CES2009 or the birth of my son, I’ve been running Chirpr, which is a a Windows Vista gadget which provides quick and easy posting to Twitter directly from the Vista Sidebar. It’s met my needs for the most part.
Except that it doesn’t allow you to follow people from the UI. Nor does it Retweet. And it doesn’t have a very configurable font. etc. etc.
Enter BuildAGadget.
TWITTER EXPLORER, FACEBOOK EXPLORER RELEASES, ALL FREE
This month they released the v1.0 version of Twitter Explorer available for free from the Gadget Gallery on Microsoft.com and it’s quite good! (See graphic to the right)
But that’s not all. They also released:
- Facebook Explorer, another professional looking Vista Gadget which provides rich access to Facebook
- XM Online Radio Gadget, which provide the ability to tune into XM Radio over the Internet from your Sidebar
- WoW Explorer, which enables people to monitor their World of Warcraft realm and search.
… and more. There’s over 20 professionally designed gadgets for people to download and try.
