Google releases official Buzz widget

It took Google long enough but they have finally released an official interactive Google Buzz widget. Initially when Google released Buzz, they did not have any widget customization leading sites like Mashable and TechCrunch to make their own. They used a mix of simple graphics and the popular bit.ly URL shortening service to count the number of clicks (which wasn’t the most accurate measure though).
Now Google has gone ahead to create an official widget with more accurate counting and a number of customized faces for use on websites. You can now either create a neat widget which allows users to submit to Buzz, or make a button to link to your Buzz profile. Many popular sites have already made the switch, and those neat compiled share scripts like AddThis, ShareThis and so on have also integrated it into their lists.
To get it for your site, check out http://www.google.com/buzz/stuff.
