Buzzbee is a jQuery plugin and web service to embed Google Buzz in your website.

Example

Type in a Google Buzz user ID and press load (try TechCrunch for example):

Usage

Update: Buzzbee no longer requires jQuery 1.4.1 or a browser that supports cross-domain headers!

Getting started with Buzzbee is as easy as:

<div class="buzz-box">Loading...</div>

<script src="http://jquery-buzzbee.appspot.com/jquery.buzzbee.js"
    type="text/javascript">
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
    // Your profile ID can be found from your profile URL.
    // http://www.google.com/profiles/example#buzz
    // Means the ID is 'example'
    $('.buzz-box').buzzbee('example');
});
</script>

If you would like to host the JavaScript files yourself, you can download the latest JavaScript files from GitHub.

Options

The buzzbee function can take two arguments; the first being a Google Profile ID and an optional options object containing:

error

A string to display if Buzzbee can't retrieve any Buzz from Google. The default is 'Unable to connect.'.

empty

A string to display if Google returns no Buzz. The default is 'No available Buzz.'.

limit

The maximum number of entries to display. Use 0 for no limit. The default is 10.

max_media_height

The maximum height (in pixels) of media. Use 0 for no limit. The default is 120.

entry_separator

An element or string to insert between Buzz entries. The default is empty.

detail_separator

An element or string to insert between entry details (the title, date and comments). The default is ' - '.

server

A string to use to use for the Google Buzz JSONP request. The URL used is url_prefix + user + '?callback=padding' and it must return a JSONP formatted Buzz profile feed (like this one). The default is 'http://jquery-buzzbee.appspot.com/jsonfeed/'
