The web is so fast in reacting to new developments around and inside it. Within days of Google releasing it’s new service “Google Buzz” , we have a Google Chrmoe plugin for Buzz.
Google Chrome Plugin for Buzz works similar to Chromebird, my favorite twitter extension for Chrome. The notification icon sits next to the addressbar, and when you click on it, a small window pops out, with your Buzz, in a better format that the original page inside gmail.
Of course the Extension is still under development and these are the new features planned.
- Notifications: a number on the icon of how many new Buzzes you have
- Posting: ability to post (and post comments) from the extension
- Limiting Comments: so it only shows a few comments and has an “expand” link for more
- Like’s

When Google Chrome was released, it was a big news, because Google was its creator. But, the buzz around google chrome went down when people started complaining about Chrome’s issues, and missing features. I continued using google chrome because it was fast, and light. ( But, I had to keep firefox also open along for certain things. )
Gradually, I came to know that even though the buzz had died down, there were people still using google chrome as their primary browser. So, there is something that made people stick to google chrome, and make it their first preference, even though this number may be very small.
