After lot of feedback regarding privacy concerns and ease of use. Google has changed couple of features.

Suddenly my Followers count got decreased. Dont be surprised if you have the same case. Google added this feature - You won't be set up to follow anyone until you have reviewed the suggestions and clicked "Follow selected people and start using Buzz."

• Auto-Follow is replaced by Auto-Suggest.
•  Buzz will no longer connect your public Picasa Web Albums and Google Reader shared items automatically.
• Buzz tab to Gmail Settings. From there, you'll be able to hide Buzz from Gmail or disable it completely.

Steps to add Google Buzz button to Blogger and Wordpress are in these websites.

Google has done lot of improvements in Google Buzz based on feedback. Below are some of them which are useful.

1. More visible option to not show followers/people you follow on your public profile
If you don't want to share the lists of people who are following you and people you are following publicly on your profile, you can always opt out during the profile set-up when you first use Buzz or at any time from the edit profile page. We are making this option more prominent in the set up process, to ensure everyone who wanted to hide these lists can do so easily.



2. Ability to block anyone who starts following you
We are making it easier to block anyone, by adding "Block" links to the list of people following you. Previously, you were only able to block people from following you after they had created a public profile. Now, you can block anyone, regardless of whether or not they've already created profiles for themselves.



3. More clarity on which of your followers/people you follow can appear on your public profile
Initially, we showed you a list of all the people who would be following you once they created a public profile. However, only those contacts who had already created a public profile would show up on your public follower list. We're making this clearer by explicitly distinguishing which of your followers have public profiles and will show in your public list of followers. With this change you'll be able to see who is on the public list of followers that everyone else sees.



Official Gmail Blog: Millions of Buzz users, and improvements based on your feedback

Buzz Browser Extensions

The first is the Chrome Buzz extension which adds the Buzz conversation bubble icon to your Chrome browser. When clicked, you can read through all the latest Buzz in the window that displays. Unfortunately though, this is currently a read-only experience. If you want to comment, like, or post new Buzz yourself, you have to head back to your Gmail. However, it's a good first effort from the developer and worth watching for future updates.

A second Buzz extension for Chrome is called Buzzer. This lets you publish to Buzz from Google Reader. This one actually seems a little redundant since you can add your Google Reader Shared Items to your Google Profile and have them automatically published on Buzz. However, this would be useful if you came across a website that you weren't subscribed to and still wanted to add it to Buzz. Clicking the button will open up the site's feed in Reader and allow you to add a note (if desired) before posting the item to Buzz.


Meanwhile, Firefox users have an experimental add-on called "Buzz It!" which lets you update your status via Gmail with the link and title of the webpage you're currently viewing.

Hide Your Buzz Contact List from Prying Eyes

As Philipp Lenssen pointed out on Google Blogoscoped, Buzz may not be for everyone...especially those who don't want to expose their private Gmail contact list to the world at large. The problem with Buzz is once you set it up, those you follow and those following you are shown on your profile page. This isn't all that different from FriendFeed expect for one important fact: on FriendFeed you picked and chose who your friends were, but your Buzz contacts are added for you automatically based on who you email the most. If that's not information you want to share, here's how to turn it off:

1. Sign into your Google account via Gmail (or any other Google service)
2. Go to your Google profile here: http://google.com/profiles/me
3. Click the link at the top-right of the screen that reads "Edit Profile"
4. Here, you'll see a checkbox that reads "Display the list of people I'm following and people following me." To make this info private, just uncheck that box.
5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Save changes" button

Update Buzz via Email

One of the nice things about Buzz's Gmail integration is that it lets you update your Buzz via email. This one's simple: just send an email to buzz@gmail.com using your gmail.com email address. You can even send in attachments!

Google Buzz understands a little bit of the Textile Markup Language. Here are the markups he found that work:
(*)word(*) = bold
(_)word(_) = italics
(-)word(-) = strikethrough
(--) = em-dash
Note: Use those without the ()

Mashable has conducted a poll for its viewers asking them Will you use Google Buzz? After reading the stories and analysis across the web, do you think this is a product you’d use in your daily life or is it something you’ll completely ignore?

Below is the snapshot from Mashable of the votes polled till now.

Google Buzz is built right into Gmail, so there's nothing to set up — you're automatically following the people you email and chat with the most.

Buzz makes it easy to quickly flip through photos and experience them the way they were meant to be seen: big and full-resolution. And videos play inline so you can watch them without opening a new window.

Google will be rolling out Google Buzz to everyone over the next few days; you'll see a new "Buzz" link under "Inbox" when it's on for your account.
