There was an uptick in user registrations this morning and after a little investigation I discovered that 37signals posted a note about Periscope Gadget. Thanks, Jason! It’s amazing to me how posts like this happen without any solicitation and I’m very grateful they do… exposure for Periscope is always a good thing.

Periscope on Lifehacker; MinneDemo recap

Since I announced yesterday that Periscope was now compatible with GMail, there have been a *flurry* of registrations and many excited users trying Periscope out for the first time. I guess my hope that Periscope would reach more people through GMail is coming true! And then, as soon as I announced it, LifeHacker picked up on it and posted about it - which is great! So go on over to their site and read the article. And leave a comment too, if you are so inclined.

Last night’s demo at MinneDemo went really well, I thought. Did you know that 7 minutes of demo time is not very much at all? I raced through as many features as I could (tons to show!) on Jon Dahl’s MacBook Pro but was not able to show the Windows Desktop Gadget nor the iPhone simulation. I think people got the general jist of it and was happy to read some nice comments on Twitter afterwards.

GMail welcomes Periscope Gadget

Wonderful news this morning: Periscope Gadget is now available in your GMail!

Thanks to Gmail Labs & the ability to add a gadget to GMail, you can now add a special GMail Edition Periscope Gadget to your sidebar in GMail. Periscope for GMail is now just one of the other ways to interact with Basecamp, in addition to Periscope for iGoogle, for the iPhone and for Google Desktop for Windows. Awesome!

You’ll need to enable GMail Labs within your GMail account (see the screencast) and also add the Gadgets for GMail extension. Once you’ve done that, you’ll need the Periscope for GMail gadget URL, which is different that the iGoogle URL:

It’s all detailed in the Periscope for GMail screencast — so have a look at it, and add Periscope goodiness to your GMail. No iGoogle needed.
