5 Ways to Share on Google Buzz

Yesterday I talked about ReBuzzThis, a button that you can add to your blog for others to share your posts on Google Buzz. Well what about those blogs that don’t have a button or that cool site you come across while browsing and want to share? Luckily, there seems to be an increasing amount of Buzz sharing tools popping up, including the five listed below. From desktop apps to browser plugins to Facebook apps, you’re sure to find a method you like for sharing items on Google Buzz.

Submit to Google Buzz

This is an extension for Google Chrome that lets you share the current page you’re viewing on Google Buzz. Just install it and you’re good to go. To use just click on the button in your browser and you’ll get a popup that will allow you to add a note and share.

Other similar Google Chrome extensions include Google Buzz Pad, Buzz Mobilizer Extension and BuzzIt.

Buzz It!

Speaking of BuzzIt (mentioned above in the Chrome extensions), there’s also a Buzz It for Firefox, SeaMonkey, Flock and Mozilla Suites. This button will automatically create a Buzz update with the link and title of the current page you’re viewing. All links are also automatically shortened with Bit.ly. The unique thing is that it does this all through an email message via Gmail.

Google Buzz Desktop

This is a simple app built on Adobe AIR. It’s updated every 2 minutes. There’s not much to it but it does the job.

HomePuzz

This is a web application that lets you post to Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Google Buzz from one single page. You can share text, photos and videos with ease. You can also share what others have posted on Facebook, Twitter or Google Buzz.

BuzzTweep

This is a Facebook application that will let you update your status on Facebook and Google Buzz at the same time. There are simple instructions on how to set it up. In short, after authorizing the application you’ll need to create a filter in Gmail that will forward the update to Buzz.

Buzz2Twitter

As an added bonus, if you want to use Google Buzz as a Twitter client, you might consider Buzz2Twitter. It lets you sync your Google Buzz to Twitter so that whenever you post on Buzz it will automatically post on your Twitter account. Buzz Can Tweet is also a similar service. If you’re someone that is now using Buzz more than Twitter, these will definitely come in handy.

Let’s not forget about posting via the Gmail tab and the ability to view other user’s Buzz updates from their Google Profile; you cannot post to Buzz from here but you can leave comments on updates. Also, you can link your other social profiles to Buzz and have those updates automatically posted – although that can become a bit “noisy” depending on how often you update those other services.

Well, I don’t know about you but now I’m all buzzed out! What’s your favorite method for sharing items on Buzz?
