On the positive side:

• Matthew Buckland has the code for embedding a buzz icon on your WordPress blog.
• Will Sullivan on Poynter Online with ‘What journalists need to know about Google Buzz’.
• Jeff Jarvis on its potential for the ‘hyperpersonal newsstream.’

And on the negative:

• As does Molly Wood on Cnet.
• Reddit.com says “hello spam” with the introduction of the vanity URL.
