Google Buzz continues to gain popularity.  When we last wrote about Buzz, it was a new tool and not everyone knew how to use it effectively.  But in only a few short weeks, Buzz has proven it’s as viable and valuable as Twitter and other real-time social networking tools.

Social media guide Mashable suggests 12 Fresh Web Tools for Getting the Most Out of Google Buzz.  Among them, the ability to link Twitter and Buzz so you can update both platforms simultaneously.  There are also cool widgets that track analytics and create charts for your Buzz usage.  And because Buzz is becoming so popular, people are continuing to invent tons of cool apps to go along with it.
