What I've Learned about Buzz

BUZZ is a "Realtime" system. It falls into the realm of Social Networks. As such, it provides many of the same services as seen on Twitter, MySpace, Friends, Flickr, etc.

With a Buzz you can share your:

• status updates,
  
• online videos,
  
• audio and
  
• photos
  

with whom you choose. They become your "friends and followers".

Buzz lets you import your online activity from other popular sites and services on the internet including Picasa, Flickr, Twitter and your feed updates through Google Feed Reader.

There are 4 things you will do on Buzz:

1        Sharing content (updates, pictures, video, images, audio)

2        Reading content

3        Interacting with other users and their shares

4        Searching Content

1. Sharing Content

 

Sharing into Buzz:

• The simplest way to share into Google Buzz is by typing into the field at the top of your Buzz Stream.
• You can share photos, links, status updates and videos on Buzz. If you type a link in the field, Buzz will attempt to pick up any media it finds on that page – sadly, it doesn’t do all that great a job at this.
• Another way of sharing content in Google Buzz is by importing activity from other social networks you might use, e.g. Twitter or Flickr. These other social networks are known as “connected sites” and allow you to import Twitter status updates, gtalk status, new Flickr photos and more. So the moment you add a photo to Flickr, it should appear in your Buzz stream.
• You can also import any RSS feed into Buzz, it’s not a built in feature just yet but here’s a work around.
• You can use Shareaholic extension and bookmarklet to share into Google Buzz.

 

Sharing out of Buzz:

• You might find something on Buzz that you want to share elsewhere, here’s how you do it: 
  
• Email: Click email under each share and that will rapidly open up an email with a link to that post.
• Copy the URL of the share: Right-click the date to the right of each item. Copy the link and then paste that into twitter, IM or wherever.

2. Reading Buzz Content

• Your Buzz stream is similar to Facebook stream. It’s full of your friends recent shares and you can ‘comment and ‘like’ away.
• Ordering the Buzz Stream. One important point however, the moment a share gets liked or commented on, it bumps back up to the top of everyone’s buzz stream. This is Buzz’s way making sure everyone see’s the most popular/recent content.
• Quietening your Buzz Stream. Of course if you’re on Buzz quite often, you’re likely to see the same popular items over and over again.
• To get rid of one that you’ve had enough of seeing pop up, you can ‘mute’ it by clicking on the menu to the right of each item
• Copy the URL of the share: Right-click the date to the right of each item. Copy the link and then paste that into twitter, IM or wherever.

3. Interacting with other users and their shares on Buzz

Commenting and Liking a post

• Should you come across a post you like or that you think more people should see, ‘like’ it.
  
• If you're inclined to leave a comment, click comment and leave a message.

NOTE1. Whenever you comment on a buzz post, you will automatically be subscribed to further comments that appear. These notifications will appear in your email inbox, to disable this – simply ‘mute’ the post as was indicated  above.

NOTE2. When commenting, you may want to grab someone’s attention. "@Someone". This isn’t perfect yet but if you want to add someone to the conversation, simply do a twitter mention by typing an “@” symbol and start typing the name you have saved in your contacts.
(note: If you don’t have that person in your gmail contacts, just look for the username in the status bar when you hover over a name and enter @<username>@gmail.com)

4. Searching Content on Buzz

• With the number of people using Buzz and the amount of content and comments flowing through the service, it’s not difficult to imagine how useful searches on Buzz could become.
• Keyboard Shortcuts (If you’ve enabled keyboard shortcuts in Gmail) type:
  
• "g b" from any Gmail view and you’ll open Google Buzz
• "j" to move to the next share
• "k" to move back to the previous share
• "m" to mute
• "Shift+l" – like a message
• "r" – add a comment
• "p" / "n" – go to the previous/next conversation
• "o" – expand conversation
• There are a number of interesting ways you can search on Buzz. 

1. source:buzz, source:friendfeed, -source:twitter source:reader <– To find items from a particular source.
2. is:buzz – Type this while searching from your email inbox to find Buzz posts that were emails.
3. author: – finds all posts in your stream authored by the person whose name you enter.
4. commenter: – finds all the posts in your reading stream that that person commented on.
5. has: [link/video/image] – finds all posts with either a link, video, or image.
