I don't know if a could deal with that tiny width, but it's cool nonetheless. ;) - Brandon
Cool - how did you do that? - Nick Reynolds
Thanks - Nick Reynolds
Lovely! - Bec Rowe @d0tski
should the url: http://friendfeed.com/embed... :) - Hobbes
I have successfully added - Hobbes
uh oh, perhaps disturbing is a better description - jerobins
I can't find the page,it shows nothing when I open it up. - Steve Chou
But..how use this xml? - enrico
The links are not working anymore - just gives me a blank page? - Oyvind Solstad
How do I do this? - David Cook
Is there a real-time gadget? - Rolf Schewe
You need to go to Gmail | Settings | Labs | Add any gadget by URL | Enable - Carlos Granier-Phelps
i'm using it from months. It's really useful - Daniele Di Gregorio
Added! Thanks - Micah Wittman from twhirl
I wish I could add this gadget, but when I enable the Gadgets from any URL thing in Labs, I don't see the form to enter the URL under the Gadgets tab. Apparently several people have this problem (went to the Google Groups to add feedback that it's not working correctly), and no one has offered up any solution. :( Sucks! - Cheryl Jones
Finally get the idea,it is cool though,but not very practical. - Steve Chou
The URL tab is added to your settings area, not the Labs area. That was confusing for me. - Yolanda
That is so cool! For me, the only problem is the width which is not appropriate but it works fine - Rémi Fayolle
@Yolanda: I know. The description for the Labs item that you enable says that a Gadgets tab will be enabled on the Settings page, but clicking on that Gadgets tab doesn't show the form where you can enter the URL like it's supposed to. Bah. - Cheryl Jones
@cheryljones I'm having the same problem too. I just get a blank page on the gadgets tab. Let me know if you figure out how to import. - Al Stevens
@Al: Just for fun I went back to the Gadget tab in my Gmail settings, and the URL form box is there now. Just added the FriendFeed gadget to Gmail, yay! - Cheryl Jones
Hmmm. The FF gadget is less useful than I thought. First of all, there doesn't seem to be a way to manually refresh it without refreshing Gmail as a whole (perhaps I'm too impatient waiting for updates). Also you can't post an original post through the gadget. And the number of FF updates shown by the gadget is limited. I thought I'd be able to see older posts. Oh well, it might be good for occasional use. - Cheryl Jones
Nice, but wish the tabs in Gmail had replacing options.. - Tec5nical
It's not enough wide for me. - Smeerch
A while ago it stopped refreshing properly so I stopped using it. - Cheryl Jones
