Official Google Buzz Widget Hits Android Market
Posted on 19 March 2010 by androidfever
Google Buzz hasn’t been buzzing much lately, but that might change as an Official Google Buzz Widget has just landed on the Android Market. Oddly enough, it was only visible to certain people – Talton and I both have Motorola Droids on Verizon Wireless but only he could see it on the market. Not sure exactly why that is but here is the info on the app directly from the market:
Google Buzz widget allows you to easily post buzz from your home screen!
Features:
* Quickly post buzz publicly or privately
* Add photos to your post from the camera or gallery
* Share your location or place
* Quickly access buzz.google.comInstall and add to your homescreen by selecting Menu>Add>Widgets>Google Buzz .
I’m guessing its just a matter of Android Market running on TONS of different servers and not perfectly aligned in terms of what is cached and updated. Some people who didn’t initially see it are now reporting it is popping up.
Download it, test it out and tell us how you like it.

I’m liking it.
Worth noting is that an app, the standard kind, is also included so you don’t have to have the widget going to post a buzz.
Its cool widget, but the service just isnt different enough to lure people from twitter and facebook. 2 social networks to update and monitor is my limit.
I’ve been waiting for an app to be released from Google for Buzz and although just a widget it has about everything needed. At least for those where the web runs nice and fast. This is a great addition and I can see myself using Buzz a lot more due to the widget.
Hey Phandronians, im planing on selling my N900 and switching back to Android. Hows the Nexus One? Hows the performance, camera, speed, responsiveness, media player and will it get flash soon? thanks
yeah i dont see it on the cliq xt
found it on my mytouch 3g w/3.5 mm headphone jack(had to differentiate them) got tired of going to the internet to use buzz should make it a lot more easier to see which people around me have android phones an see wats up
I can see that, I tried out facebook then all my family sent me invites, cant deny my g-ma but not so cool with comments bout getting high…whoops. So does everybody have pinch and zoom on their maps?
Dezil: If it means anything, Facebook was way cooler before EVERYONE was on it.
I don’t get it, a Facebook that nobodies on? Humph….guess I’ll check it out. I did find out playing with it that my maps now have pinch and zoom, thought that was with the update….I’ll take it tho
It’s kool!
Can someone post a URL or QR code?
why no qr code?
1.) i’m lazy
2.) we should make this a standard
I see it on the Market. I also see they now have an Orkut app… Orkut of all things. I’d kill to get a Google Docs app, I’d wager there are far more users of that than Orkut.
I have access to Buzz but I am not using it though.
Don’t see it on my sprint htc hero
