So I started playing around with Google Buzz after it came out, and so far is seems pretty cool. I think it definitely needs some work before it would really replace any services for me, but, being an "internet content creator" I still like to explore any new mediums that arise. Right now a lot of my production resources are dedicated to this blog/webpage (and of course to research) so I figured I would go ahead and try to tie it in to my Buzz. So far it has been a rather unsuccessful ordeal. Currently, I have the RSS feed for this blog in my Google Reader and it is placed in a folder that I've deemed Public and therefore should automatically share. It doesn't. I don't know why it doesn't, but I've left things in there for a day or two and they never show up, dispite them showing up in the folder and the folder showing up as Public. So each time I post something I have to manually go in and click "share" to have it propogate to Buzz. I'm all for automation, so this is a non-preferred scenario. When I looked at my Connected Sites, several blogs I have on blogger showed up, so I thought I could possibly just mirror my new blog on a blogger blog for the time being. I got this all set up, but for some reason, my new blogger blog still doesn't show up as an option when I try to add a new connected site. So then I found this page that described how to add an outside page to conected sites. So I followed the directions in #3 and still no luck. It could be that the Google Crawler hasn't recrawled my site yet (the site to manually make it recrawl doesn't seem to be working) and everything is set up fine and I just have to wait. We shall see. If anyone has any other ideas, feel free to pass them on!
