The site is very simple right now, it doesn&#8217;t include categories, there&#8217;s no description of how it works (&#8220;we are jumping through a bunch of hoops,&#8221; Hettema says) and the &#8220;new buzz&#8221; column is already full of spam.  People love this kind of thing, though, so check it out.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tweetmeme.com\">Tweetmeme<\/a> had similar beginnings and is now quite an impressive little company.  Google Buzz has a lot of potential, and Buzzr is worth watching too.<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"><em>Sponsor<\/em><br \/><a href='http:\/\/d.ads.readwriteweb.com\/ck.php?n=18457&amp;cb=18457' ><img src='http:\/\/d.ads.readwriteweb.com\/avw.php?zoneid=14&amp;cb=18457&amp;n=18457' border='0' alt='' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><script src=\"http:\/\/www.dev1.buzrr.com\/button.php\"> <\/script>Ultimately, popularity contests are only so interesting &#8211; but they do draw a crowd.  If Buzzr can execute on really counting Buzz shares of stories, then maybe it could gain some critical mass and do some more interesting things with the data.  <\/p>\n<p>Buzzr has taken a page out of Tweetmeme&#8217;s book by prominently featuring a website button to share a story on Buzz, something that put the interests of publishers, users and Tweetmeme all in sync for that company.  <\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, there is a whole lot of backlash already concerning Buzz&#8217;s intrusiveness.  That&#8217;s why <a href=\"http:\/\/www.readwriteweb.com\/archives\/how_weve_decided_to_use_buzz.php\">we decided not to push content there automatically<\/a> but to engage in conversations there instead.  If that&#8217;s how the medium shapes up then services like Buzzr may not be as widely embraced as the number-pumping Tweetmeme has been.<\/p>\n<p>Time will tell; since <a href=\"http:\/\/www.readwriteweb.com\/archives\/how_google_buzz_is_disruptive_open_data_standards.php\">Google Buzz&#8217;s most disruptive quality is its open data standards<\/a>, there should be a whole lot of services built on top of it soon.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.skitch.com\/20100226-ccx7w2t8jp7hjt47kew5jgju36.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.readwriteweb.com\/archives\/buzrr_is_tweetmeme_for_google_buzz.php#comments-open\">Discuss<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/4i47zsrgJ7AZWEc-rzBrLFbZPGc\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/4i47zsrgJ7AZWEc-rzBrLFbZPGc\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/4i47zsrgJ7AZWEc-rzBrLFbZPGc\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/4i47zsrgJ7AZWEc-rzBrLFbZPGc\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=mL5zdfxH-Jw:laq0KXW-HNw:FFnlKYwJmN0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?d=FFnlKYwJmN0\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=mL5zdfxH-Jw:laq0KXW-HNw:Ij26kaj3iuU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?d=Ij26kaj3iuU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=mL5zdfxH-Jw:laq0KXW-HNw:C2pbw5bZMiI\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?d=C2pbw5bZMiI\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=mL5zdfxH-Jw:laq0KXW-HNw:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=mL5zdfxH-Jw:laq0KXW-HNw:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?i=mL5zdfxH-Jw:laq0KXW-HNw:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=mL5zdfxH-Jw:laq0KXW-HNw:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?i=mL5zdfxH-Jw:laq0KXW-HNw:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=mL5zdfxH-Jw:laq0KXW-HNw:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?i=mL5zdfxH-Jw:laq0KXW-HNw:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=mL5zdfxH-Jw:laq0KXW-HNw:OqabYuBsmOY\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?d=OqabYuBsmOY\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/readwriteweb\/~4\/mL5zdfxH-Jw\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swedish marketing technologist Dennis Hettema has created a hot-item tracking website for the most-shared items on Google Buzz, called Buzrr.
