Of course I had to check it out and of course I spent the whole yesterday checking my Buzz inbox. My impression is that Google Buzz is a smart play to follow the micro blogging trend and be sure that every Gmail account will have it (the first spalsh says: no setup needed!). Well, of course you can turn it off… if you can read the 7pt size text at the bottom: turn off buzz. I’m a bit tired to wait for the next bigger tool that will try eat the others. Each one has the bright-side and the dark-side and Buzz, even is a newbie, is doing its job pretty well.
But I’m not here to review the technology, I just want to share a custom script I’ve wrote to add the Google “Buzz it” button into AddToAny Wordpress Plugin. You just have to go in the Share/Save Buttons settings and add the following lines in the additional options field (replace EXAMPLE.COM with your domain):
var a2a_config = a2a_config || {};
a2a_config.custom_services = [
["Buzz it",
"http://www.google.com/reader/link?title=A2A_LINKNAME_ENC&url=A2A_LINKURL_ENC",
"http://www.EXAMPLE.COM/googlebuzz_16x16.png"
]
];
I made a quick png version of the Google Buzz icon, but you can use any icon you want to.
16×16 px
and 32×32 px ![]()
