Hi, Team Seesmic Friends,
With all the buzz around Google Buzz, I have some exciting news to share! If you add your Google Talk (GTalk) account to Ping.fm and then add Gtalk as a service to Google Buzz, you will instantly update Google Buzz exactly at the same time as Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and the 50 social networks supported by Ping.fm. It is also much faster than adding Twitter as a service to Google Buzz which can be delayed up to an hour for your updates to show on Buzz. You can then update ping.fm from any app supporting it (all Seesmic apps very soon), sms, email or…. chat. Very handy.

Here is a step by step:

1. create a Ping.fm account if you don’t have one and add your favorite social networks to it

2. add your GTalk as a service in Ping.fm

3. add your GTalk to Google Buzz as a connected site

and voila! Each time you update ping from any app, sms, email… it will instantly update Buzz:

Bonus: if you add your GTalk  as a way to update ping as well, you can just update all your networks and buzz from GTalk as simply as if you were sending an im to anyone. Oh and a last tip if you want to Gchat something that you want NOT to appear in Buzz, put the status update between parenthesis.
