By now, you should be aware about the arrival of Google Buzz, Google’s latest take at social networking. Since this is a social network we are talking about regardless of how significant or insignificant it may be, people might want to subscribe their blog feed or any other feed to Google Buzz. So here we are with a guide that will get you done with this very task. Steps listed after the jump.

Connect Feed to Google Buzz

Here are the steps:

  1. First you need to claim it on your public profile. Go make a public profile and add it there: http://www.google.com/profiles
  2. Next you need to verify it, making sure that there’s a rel=me link path back to your Google Profile. Buzz requires verification to connect sites (with the exception of a few things like Twitter and Flickr which don’t require verification, for various reasons). To verify the site(s), you need a rel=me link path from them to your Google Profile URL. For docs on XFN and how to mark it up, see: http://code.google.com/apis/buzz/documentation/#connect
  3. Rather than wait for the Google crawler to re-visit your site, @Brett Slatkin and I whipped up a little tool today to force an immediate Social  Graph API recrawl:  https://sgapi-recrawl.appspot.com/ Go there and force-recrawl any “me” links you’ve just added to the site(s) you want connected to your Buzz.
  4. Now that it’s verified, go into Buzz in Gmail and go to “Connected Sites” and they’ll be there for you to connect.

Do share with us your impression about the social version of Gmail. I haven’t tried it myself since Google Buzz has not buzzed my Gmail account yet.
