It was only a matter of time until we got around to Twitter. Plus we had a lot of requests for this gadget, so how could we not take a stab at it? The Twitter Explorer gadget is a basic foray into the popular social micro-blogging platform and we hope that it goes over well.

Features:

• View recent activity, mentions, and trends
• Search Twitter or view trending topics in either a flyout or the browser
• Post updates, reply, or retweet posts in a flyout complete with short URL Bit.ly support
• Click on a posting user’s name or picture to see their stats and info
• 2 different full themes (way more than a background change)
• 4 height sizes, each with a narrow and wide mode
• Wide mode shows user pictures as well as names
• View the rate limit and any errors in a small but handy flyout

As always, we appreciate any and all feedback, requests, error reports, etc. We will do our best to take everything into consideration for future updates and fixes.
