It works...BUT...It always want's to reinstall it self every 60 seconds or so....

Gets the job done for general updates and easy posts. A bit painful when editing the text field and posting links though..

I want to love this but it has problems. It almost always lists "140 Error connecting" at the bottom. Most of the time, the gravatar images do not show up. They worked for a couple days then disappeared when he error showed up. I see a post that says it's fixed and I see that the latest version is listed as October 25, 2007. Let's see...it's January 2009 right now so I guess they're not updating it anymore. Too bad. I could've rocked! Unfortunately, there's only one other Twitter gadget and it's not as appealing. Oh well...

The gadget has been fixed, but please file bugs here: http://code.google.com/p/google-twitter/issues/list

It's alright when it works, but definitely buggy and inconsistent.

Great utility to have. Unfortunately bugs connecting and inability to see full 140 character tweets without clicking on them diminishes the utility greatly.

has good basic capabilities but i'd really like to see a notification with new tweets appear in the bottom corner as an option. also option to display the entire tweet (hate when i have to click the tweet to read the last word or two)

anyone else having connection problems? i cannot get rid of the "Error Connecting" above the entry box and it won't fix even after signing out and re-signing in or removing and re-adding the gadget!

This baby could use some love. It has great potential but the bugs/errors are so maddening as to render it near useless.

Reports error connecting, but seems to be working. Doesn't refresh automatically.

can't create tweets, which makes it pretty lame

Looks nice and it lets you read updates. Has a useless text box, however. Does not update status. Tried this on desktop and iGoogle. Derp

Works well for reading tweets, but will not post updated even after updating to Google Desktop 5.

Wish I could change the font size. I can't scroll up and down either, which is very frustrating.

The iGoogle gadget works perfectly... love it!

Great idea and I love it but it really needs to get the bugs stomped out!!! Please Google--are you listening to us???

Reads what's there great, but will not let me update my posts.

Definitely needs scroll capability and option to set refresh time. Option to set amount of text shown for each tweet would also be useful.

Would love this if it weren't so bug-laden. Please update it with some bugfixes, I'd be eternally grateful!

i, too, have d/l'd this...installed and redone the whole thing...still to not be able see tweets of my own or others...just says i'm offline the entire time...very frustrating.
