The biggest debate about Google Buzz has been its lack of integration with the staple social networks – Facebook & Twitter. Well, now there is a way to access everything – Facebook, Twitter & Google Buzz via your Gmail account.

Here are the steps:

  1. Activate “Add any gadget by URL” in Gmail Labs — you’ll find it near the bottom of the list.
  2. Now go to Settings –> Gadgets. Here you’ll find a place to add Gadget URLs.
  3. Add the TwitterGadget App. Any iGoogle gadget will do actually, but the best one in our opinion is TwitterGadget, a fully-functional Twitter service for iGoogle and Gmail. This lets tweet from the sidebar or open up your Twitter with all of your tabs intact. It even supports multiple accounts.

    To add it, copy and paste this URL into Gmail’s Gadget settings: https://twittergadget.appspot.com/gadget-gmail.xml

  4. Add the Facebook Gadget. In the same way you added TwitterGadget, you can add Facebook to your Gmail. While Google has an official Facebook gadget, it doesn’t play nicely with Gmail, so we suggest using the app Ari Milner uses: Facebook Gadget by iBruno. It will expand into the rest of your Gmail for easy Facebook management.

    To add it, copy and paste this URL into Gmail’s Gadget settings: http://hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/104971404861070329537/facebook.xml

  5. Your Google Buzz, Facebook, Twitter, and Gmail are now all simultaneously available via one page.
