1. Search for a place to post from
Tagging a post with your location is easy and fun. You can just tap the location box in the posting screen to add a place name or an address. Or, you can search for a place. Click ">" in the location box and scroll down a bit to find the search box. This will allow you to search for places nearby and tag your post with that location.
2. Learn more about a tagged place
When you see a location tag and the little red pin attached to someones post, you might want to learn more about that place. Click Show map to see the address of that place and a small map, which you can tap to see a bigger, fully functional map. You can also click the place link to view business details, reviews, photos, and more.
3. Choose to share privately or publicly
The Google Buzz web app provides options to share your post publicly on the web or privately with the groups you select. To create a new group to share privately, youll need to visit Buzz in Gmail or google.com/contacts from your computer. Your location is attached to your post by default, either as an address or a place. If you dont want it attached, you can simply tap the Remove location link. Next time you post, we will remember your choices for the sharing option (public or private) and for the location tagging option (whether or not to include location).
4. View mobile profiles and follow new people
Youll often find interesting public posts or comments made by people youre not following yet. If youd like to start following them, simply tap on their name to visit their mobile profile page, click the Buzz tab, and tap Follow. The Contact Info tab includes info pulled from their public Google profile that theyve chosen to share and any additional info you may have about them in your contacts, making it easy for you to contact them with one click.
5. Auto-finish @reply
When you want to include someone in a post or comment, you can use the @reply feature. On mobile devices, simply type "@user", which will be automatically expanded to "@user@gmail.com" for you. This will save you time typing on the phone.
