Big Improvement: Best of a bad bunch (20/01/2009)
This is a big improvement over the old gadget ("Twitter Gadget") by the same developer, and for my purposes is the best of the currently available selection. The interface has been improved to allow scrolling through recent tweets without repeated clicking and so that clicking a username will allow you to reply to the tweet in question. Also seems to no longer suffer from the problem of not displaying the times of tweets correctly. Potential improvements include allowing more choice of size (3 sizes are available, but the biggest only displays 3 tweets), selection of font size (it's pretty small), and offering a selection of backgrounds to better fit into the existing desktop environment. The new scroll-buttons also activate on hover - it would be nice if you had to click ONCE to get them going, but this is a relatively minor issue. Overall an excellent improvement over the previous version, and I consider it to be the best gadget of it's type currently available.

It's okay
Almost there (19/03/2009)
This was tied for my favorite but each has its ups and downs. Scrolling and notification are great on here. Updates lag. Could have a better UI.

Nice gadget (30/11/2008)
The best looking Twitter gadget I've seen, and more about what other people are up to, with tweeting kept nicely hidden until you need it. Thanks

Functional (18/04/2009)
It works, but I would love it even more if it looked better. It's just not very aesthetic. Hopefully an update will improve the readability and make it match the gadgets offered by MS.

It's okay
It's nice but... (23/02/2009)
While I love the gadget in general it seems like it's gigng me errors more than delivering my tweets. The only way to fix it is to close and start up again. Could it be possible to have pressing "return/enter" send the tweet rather than starting a new line? I don't need/want a new line in my tweets. Also clicking a user name could bring up the users twutter page in the web browser rather than starting a new tweet to them. Overall a great gadget I'll be using it regardless of some annoyances all the other gadgets are pretty fail.

Better (29/01/2009)
I've tried 3 different twitter gadgets before this one. Of all of them this one is the best. Only feature missing is a URL shortener. Other than that it does what I want.
