2)Add Spice To Your Text In Buzz

  
Google Buzz understands some very basic text markup language. That means you can spice up your text entries on Buzz by using bold text, italics and strikethroughs. Here's what you do:
      1.   *Make your text bold by placing an asterisk at each end of your word or sentence*.
      2.  _Using underscores at each end will italicize this Buzz comment_.
      3.  -Use a dash at each end for a strikethrough-
      4.  For an em--dash, just place two hyphens side--by--side..

3)Stop Buzzes Arriving To Your Inbox .

One of the complaints about Buzz is that it automatically adds Buzz to your inbox - yes, your actual inbox where you're already overwhelmed with traditional email messages. This occurs despite the fact that Buzz has its own section in Gmail, accessible via a link on the left. We're not sure if the Google guys haven't yet heard of "information overload" or if they just don't care, but some of us would rather keep our Buzz elsewhere.
Getting Buzz out of your inbox is simple, though, thanks to Gmail's filtering mechanism. Here's how to use it.

1. Click "create a filter" next to the search box at the top of your inbox. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Then, in the Has words text box in the filter tool, enter label:buzz.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Click the Next Step button; Gmail will warn you that Filter searches containing label and a few other search operators won't work, but don't worry--my testing shows that for Buzz messages, they seem to work just fine, so click OK and move on.
4. Finally, tick the checkbox next to Skip the Inbox (Archive it) if you want to remain the mail in your mail archive and if you want to delete it check the delete it box and then click the Create Filter button. 
5. If in future you want to make the mails come to your inbox then go to the setting tab of your gmail and then to filter tab and delete the filter with label:buzz ..

5) Buzz Extensions

         Since the arrival of the Buzz app developers are busy with developing extension to the browers for buzz to make users comfortable.If you are one of those, then you might prefer that notification extension for your web browser .The extension that can display the number of unread status messages is available for the Google Chrome web browser.
Google Buzz Checker is a simply extension for the Google Chrome web browser that displays an icon with the current count of unread buzz messages. A click on the icon will take the user to the Google Buzz page where those new messages can be read. One nice feature of the extension is that it does not request a user login, it will work if the user is logged into Gmail. This on the other hand could be a problem for security conscious users who prefer to log out of Gmail whenever they have finished using the service.
Chrome Buzz for Google Chrome makes it more comfortable as it provides the status updates right in the web browser without having to load the Google Buzz page in the web browser first.
 Buzzer for Google Chrome is an extension that links Google Buzz and Google Reader. It allows the user to share pages, text and pictures on Google Reader and Google Buzz at the same time.

Buzz It is a Firefox add-on that can be used to make a status update via Gmail by posting the link and title of the webpage the user is viewing.

Two userscripts are also available right now. Google Buzz Comment emoticons adds emoticon support to the comments and posts while Google Buzz Count Hide hides the unread status message count in Gmail.
