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
Google Chrome Extensions gallery has now more than 1500 extensions ! Congratulations, Google chrome team, and all developers out there !!
Here is what an extension is, Google’s Own words ..
Extensions are little programs, created by developers, which add useful functionality to the browser and to the websites you visit. Some provide you with alerts and notifications, others let you easily access your favorite web services from icons next to your address bar, and there are lots more.
