30+ Google Buzz How tos, Tools and other Resources
Busy Bee Colony by No Minds Vision
Earlier this week I wrote about how we can’t ignore Google Buzz even if we’d like to. Also I complained about the huge onslaught of Google Buzz news and resources.
To deal with both I decided to compile a list of 30+ Google Buzz how tos, tools and other resources.
Here you’ll find out how to disable Google Buzz but also how to work with it in order to reach your business objectives.

I can’t help feeling that the SEO blogs above are missing a trick here. What they seem to fail to point out is that, when you point it at a Twitter feed, Buzz strips out the “no follow” tags that are embedded in Twitter.
This means that all the links you have in Twitter become visible to Google and any other passing web crawler.
So there is potential here to generate pints of link juice back to the web pages of your choice.
Good news/bad news:
Bad news – it’s going to be a dream for spammers (I am sure Google will have added an algorithm to prevent abuse though).
Good news – it’s a Google platform – so it is hard to imagine that they will penalise users if they play by the rules and help to build legitimate and organic networks.
I have blogged about it in more detail here: http://www.revolution-pr.co.uk/node/115

Hey Andrew,
yeah, I noticed the “real links” on GB but didn’t think about the additional Twitter benefit. On the other hand, Google indexes Twitter links inspie of the nofollow anyways. I’ve tested that. Also the Twitter echo is a bit annoying on GB. Thank you for the feedack!

Nice post Tad. A long list of seemingly useful resources. I’m interested to see how they work out, thanks for this.
As a side note, anyone find it a little ironic that a post about buzz doesn’t have the function to share it via buzz?

Great story. I think it’s funny how Yahoo! had “buzz” for years and years but they never bothered to integrate it until recently. And it never quite got the attention that Google Buzz is getting. The problem with Yahoo is they didn’t allow the public to have their say or control, but Google gets it. It’s a public popularity index, not THEIR popularity index!
