Well G_Buzz_Button is supposed to be the best coz it displays the counter
Nowadays maybe the Google+ button is something instead of the Google Buzz button
I guess, that 2 and 8 are leaders… but I’d like to see them combined
And this post of yours should be definitely bookmarked – it really covers the topic “Google Buzz Plugin”

Too bad none of these plugins are actually working anymore due to the fact that Google Buzz has been taken down by Google.

I actually think it’s sad that is has been taken down from the Internet. Maybe Google+ is their “update” of Buzz?
Yeah, I start to wounder about the same thing as you guys…Maybe its Google…Who knows?
I really enjoyed what you had to say.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks

It’s fascinating how fast something like this from google can grow. And I must say that Im glad this seam to actually be a god product. Not like the wave .. witch I realy liked in the beginning .. but later when filled with content was very much to hard to work with.
Or like someone said “buzz” wich did not add much at all ..
On the upside I believe that those mistake made their later products better.. since they learned how to do it right. An now all those nice plugins.
i will go with google plus because it has more advantages as compared to google buzz…though googole buzz ER is offering nice feature so i can think about it
I didn’t really get Buzz. I just tried it a few times tough, but I guess it is better for Google to put in more resources on G+ and just focus on that instead!
I used to use a buzz plugin for wordpress. But now when Google+ is up running it is much easier. You just copy the code for the plusone-button and you are good!
