How to get the RSS feed for Google Buzz

I needed this for my Comments Page and at the minute the feed appears to be formatted differently to other RSS feeds. This is due to them not offering a JSON format yet.

There is a great JQuery solution for this the Google Buzz Widget.
They say:
This is a jQuery widget for the brand new social network -Google Buzz- that you can embed anywhere to integrate your buzz stream into your page.

However if you want to get your Google Buzz XML Feed follow these easy steps:

  • Use Firefox
  • Visit the profile page of the person so in my case… Tristan Botly’s Google Profile
  • On the right of the address bar you should see the familiar orange RSS icon, click that to load up the xml and copy the feed
Buzz it!
You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

  • I just installed: http://wordpress.org/extend/pl...

    This allows you to embed your Google Buzz stream into the site.

    It didn't lay it out quite as I wanted but all you need to do is edit the PHP so instead of DIV's it loops the data into an ordered list. Not sure if this code would be handy for others.

    Also to get this to run on my page rather than embedded in a template I had to run the plugin Exec-PHP - http://wordpress.org/extend/pl...

    A very handy bit of code that allows you to place PHP code into a wordpress post / page and get it to action it. I wouldn't recommend this if you were going to let the site loose with admin's but for your own site it is fine.
