Buzz out of the box – using Google Buzz from outside Gmail

Google Buzz has become a trend today. It might not have as many users as Twitter, but it certainly attracts a lot of attention as it’s an integrated part of Gmail.  Most Google Buzz  users access it though the easy-to-use interface of Gmail. But what if you want to use Buzz without logging in to Gmail?. Here are two easy ways to do that:

Chrome Buzz extension for Google Chrome

Chrome Buzz is an extension for Chrome that shows you your Buzz notifications as well as allows you to post your buzzes,

There, just click on the install button to add the extension to your browser. Once this is over, you will be able to see the Buzz icon to the right of the address bar in Chrome as displayed below.

Click on the Buzz icon and login with your Gmail account. And that’s it.

From now on, every time you click the Buzz icon, a drop down menu will appear showing all of your buzzes and the buzzes of your followers. You can send out Buzzes from here easily.

Buzz It for Mozilla Firefox

Buzz It is as add-on for Firefox and it’s a little different than Chrome Buzz as it lets you post links to Buzz whenever you are visiting a website.

Once you have installed the add-on, the Buzz it icon will appear next to your address bar. Whenever you click the Buzz It icon and a small window will open up and you can compose your buzz. It even supports URL shortening. Pretty neat eh?
