Is there an widget that allows for simultaneously posting updates to facebook and twitter?
not looking for a full app that will drain my battery running in the background, just a simple widget that will cast my updates, and thats it....
Don't know if you use launcher pro or not, but the paid version has a "friends" widget that does exactly that. It also lets you view both feeds in the same widget

Hey guys, do you know a scrollable contact widget that works with 1.6? i'm thinking of something like pure messenger, only for contacts.
I know that we'll get eclair soon, but i still wanna knows if there exists something like that. I'm using adw launcher, which is capable of scrolling widgets.
Talking of 2.1, can you tell me a good scrollable contact widget for that? If i'm not wrong, launcher pro (plus?) brings one built in, right?
Cheers

Nope, 2.1 upwards only.
Not that kind you search, but with Launcher-X Pro you can create widgets, at least with contacts (, apps & shortcuts).
For example you can create a widget where you can see up to 7 contacts.
By pressing a button in the widget you can turn to next side of the widget, where are the next 7 contacts.
In every widget you create you can add up to 72 contacts (apps or shortcuts).
Launcher-X Pro is availible in Market in 2 Versions (free & paid)
At the second screen from my phone you can see one of the widgets with my most used contacts. (pictures are pixelized)

Just have a look and try the free version of that app.
I like it.
Thanks for your answers!
I'm already using launcher-x pro, and i really like it for having my most used apps etc at hand.
But scrolling/swiping like in the pure messenger widget is just more intuitive since i don't have to precisely push a button. sounds stupid, i know, but it really makes things easier
I wonder why no one is creating a widget like this, pure messenger already shows that it's possible when you have a capable launcher. and ADW is easily one of the most used launchers out there Or is there another limitation when we're speaking about contacts instead of messages? Probably we're just obsolete fossils with our donut
Thanks anyway for your advices!
Cheers

Ive tried to look for a widget like that too, but had no luck. The best thing you can do is wait for 2.1 to come and then install LauncherPro Plus.. You'll get a scrollable people widget, much like the htc's contact widget.

You can use GDE home and it has built in task bar and additional 4x1 dock that can add any place. you can add any shortcut or contact and change icon and rename each the way you want in both dock and task bars. whats more is that you can add any number of icons and scroll both ways. Check it out.

Are there any of these that operate similar to the Launcher Pro scrollable widgets? Unfortunately, I can't get LP to work on Honeycomb. Looking for something free preferably, especially since I already paid for LP...
Colorize Widget will do Facebook and Twitter.
Facez is a Facebook only widget.
Both are scrollable.
Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966333
But do take note that Colorize Widget does not work with LP.
Look into pure messenger widget. Ive been using it for several days and like it pretty well, only downside is its about $2
So far id say its worth it

Can you have separate widgets for Facebook and Twitter, or is it only one widget that moves between FB/Twitter/Gmail/etc?
Does the widget have scrollable messages?
Just checked and yes you can make multiple Widgets and seperate them

Is it scrollable?
+1 for Pure Messenger. It's pretty great.
...and yes it's scrollable.
Use Plume for Twitter. IMO, its great, and scrollable.

Same here.
I'm on the hunt too.
PowerTutor at hand, I found Colorize Widgets to be a battery killer.
Right now, the best solution I found to have good graphics and good battery life is... Pulse! Setting ONLY the Facebook feeds, now included by default.
Note that, the more feeds you set in there, the more battery usage increases in a crazy way.
Comparison, both 30 minutes refresh interval, screen off all the time, 1h30mins:
- Colorize Widgets : 19,4 J
- Pulse (only facebook-friend's-posts & links): 8 J
Another good battery usage solution was to use an RSS widget and setting my Facebook-friend's-posts as a feed directly. Unfortunately, no images were shown (probably guilt is the RSS reader isself).
Question: does Pure Messenger show friends photos on the widget ?

I am looking for Agenda/Calender and Bookmark widgets like the ones on HTC Sense. I have tryed Launcher Pro Plus widgets but I don't want to use LP on my TF. I have also tryed Pure Grid Calendar widget w/Sense skin but it is buggy and isn't scrollable on my TF..The Calender n Bookmark widget on the TF are small and pathetic.
If anyone can recommend a good Agenda/Calender and Bookmark widget that is scrollable and works as smooth as the Sense or LP ones please let me know! Thanks
I'm quite a fan of touch calendar - the paid version has the widgets that you can set to display x number of upcoming/past weeks in a given widget size. It's not scrollable directly from the widget, but you can specify clicking on the widget to either add a new event or see the full calendar. The pinch zoom on the calendar app itself is very nice, and I've found it superior to agenda-type views. You can try the app itself out for free, then decide if you want to pay for it to get the widget.
I don't use a bookmark widget, but live bookmarks is supposed to be pretty good and HTC like (note, it's a live folder, not a widget)

I will give those a try, thank you for your suggestions...Greatly Appreciated!
I don't know of any widgets to do this, but I suggest not buying anything. 3.1 has support for re-sizable widgets, should be pushed out in June.

Looking forward to that update for sure, wish they would also add the option of removing/renaming App shortcut names leaving just the icon on your homepage like LP.

I previously used LauncherPro which had it's own Twitter widget but now since the update I just want to keep everything stock ICS. So what are my options?
Android pro Widgets
Thanks! I will give that a go
+1 for Android Pro Widgets. I use their Timeline widget, which combines the Twitter and Facebook feeds into one feed. Love it!
APW is exactly what I was after, I went and bought the paid version. Also, the separate Google Reader widget is really useful and I like how it includes thumbnails of each news article. Good stuff! Thanks again
Is there a Twitter widget that properly integrates with the Twitter app? Same question for Facebook.

Android Pro Widgets allows opening tweets using Twitter for android (also supports Plume and Seesmic) and opening Facebook items using Facebook for android (also supports FriendCaster and Seesmic).
I'm not aware of any widget that takes its data directly from Twitter / Facebook official apps.

I guess I wasn't too hyped up on the mag interface. There is a widget for the regular android screens with the time and weather, you want one for the magazine screen also?

I was just looking for the briefing widget with the clock and weather so i wouldn't have to scroll all they way over to the 4 pages i have with the magazine. But it looks like they took it out.
I was looking for that widget I think is for the phone version only.
