However with this newest release even <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/\">Mashable<\/a> has updated their Buzz widgets.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The new button looks similar to many of the other counter-style widgets we&#8217;ve seen. It&#8217;s got the Buzz logo with a live count in the main circle, and there&#8217;s also a smaller more compressed version similar to Facebook&#8217;s share widget. You can customize your site and your button from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/buzz\/api\/admin\/site\">Official Buzz API page<\/a>, where you can choose from follow buttons or share widgets.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an even simpler widget because you don&#8217;t need any special edits for WordPress or Blogger blogs. Google automatically grabs the URL and uses that to share the story, which works perfectly with the widget. There&#8217;s also a new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/buzz\/post\">Buzz posting screen<\/a> to share your links, and this is much simpler than trying to use Reader or Gmail.<\/p>\n<p>Overall this is just the start of an amazing API for Buzz. I&#8217;m excited to see where this is going to go, but for now just having these buttons is more than enoug (thanks, Google!). We&#8217;ve switched our buttons on Inside the Webb over from NJuice to Google&#8217;s new buttons, so given some time let&#8217;s see how they perform.<\/p>\n<p>Any other thoughts on where Google Buzz is going, including their API or any future advancements? I want to know your opinions on Google&#8217;s latest networking technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google has recently released the beginning of a small API working with Google Buzz.
