Google “Buzz It” share button

February 12th, 2010

Google Buzz and the Buzz It button:

Google released “Buzz” on Feb 9/10 2010 and it has become very popular. So popular in fact that within hours a “Buzz It” button was created.

This button allows your users to easily share your content on Buzz with a single click.


(found this button on this awesome post about BUZZ on AEXT.net Design Magazine)

You will need to edit the appropriate fields in the code to reflect your website’s info.

Have a blog? Increase your traffic by adding a simple Buzz widget. In your blog’s theme, simply use the following URL (replace the appropriate data):


Mashable’s “Buzz It” button.

Head on over to Mashable, TechCrunch & others to see how their usage of the “Buzz It” button has turned out. (Warning: Mashable sports a GIANT Google Ad near the top of their page that resembles some “Buzz” functionality.)

Oggchat offers FREE website chat integrated with gmail

January 5th, 2010


Oggchat is a “live” website chat solution that integrates with Google Talk and Gmail.

Simply put. You sign up for an account (Free and Fee based) and set some parameters. Then you paste the Oggchat code into your website and start offering realtime solutions to your customers.

I suspect one drawback would be that Oggchat integration is only available through Google Talk/gmail. So any website organization that isn’t currently using Google will need to create a Google account in order to utilize the Oggchat service. (I am not 100% sure on this as I have not signed up for the service and there is no indication of integration with other IM clients.)

Oggchat says:

OggChat is unique among live chat solutions. It incorporates a customizable client chat window for your website but routes all chat requests to your operators’ GMail accounts. No additional client software is required and you can chat right from GMail or from your Google Talk client.

I can say this though…Gmail does offer awesome features for small business/blog writers. Creating a Google account in order to utilize Oggchat couldn’t hurt.

Google Desktop

Google Desktop got finally good back in September. at least for Windows users and now if you are in Windows you can enjoy of having a quick view Gmail gadget for it too.

The gadget looks good and everything about seems to be peachy minus the part it don`t has more “obvious” way to make itself notable like sound and big email counter signs that are what users of these kind of widgets usually want. but it works well and there is not like there were a lot of options to begin with. much less official ones.
