Hey Ryan,

Thanks for responding - showing that your support to your product is superb. I think that I can set GMail's filters to filter anything with my name in it automatically, but if you have any ideas to make that easier without impacting your service I think that would be great.

Your tracking idea is a great one.

Thanks! :)

The TwitterGadget is probably better for people who are following a small amount of people as the size it is in GMail makes me a little claustrophobic, it's nice how the TG4G opens up it's own pane so you know what you're working with.

TwitterGadget also doesn't allow me to favorite tweets in its GMail version (because of no avatars I guess?) which is a dealbreaker, ladies.

Most of the features you mentioned that TG4G doesn't have, it has. But I can see how you'd be upset because they did completely steal your name - even if you both picked a generic name in the first place.

I hope you and your company that make TwitterGadget well, I wish this to both projects! One option just might be better than the other.

Gotta say, the impostor Twitter Gadget for Gmail can't hold a candle to the real, original, TwitterGadget. The feature sets are light years apart. Any rational, knowledgeable person can easily see this when using the two, which I have extensively.

TwitterGadget features include URL truncation, reverse short URL lookup, built in search, Tweet Shrink, Media upload, inline media preview, cool symbols insertion, username autocomplete for @ replies, and more. Most of which Twitter Gmail Gadget doesn't, oh, and it just works better too.

Ooops! I forgot to mention option B. You can use the tracking feature and have all replies sent to a gmail sub-address (username+tbmreplies@gmail.com) which could then be filtered.

Hey Jamie, thanks for the comments on TweetByMail. I appreciate that.

Regarding your note about not being able to filter @replies, I was thinking what if I could put a * in the subject line if a message references your username. Then you could set up an appropriate mail filter and label.

Just a thought… I could try it but it may end up causing a big slow-down in the sending script, as it would have to start searching every outgoing tweet. Worth a shot, at least.
