@Yvonne:
i have a google username with “.” and the plugin works perfectly for me, so this is not the case. At least with my 2.9.1 wordpress version.
I have “error loading google buzz data” too.
My username is “yvonnelin.net”, and I have set it without “@gmail.com”
Do you think it happened because of the “.” ?
you have to have your google profile configured for this to work
go here to setup

one more IMPORTANT thing – it would be very nice, if buzz notes were included into rss feed of wordpress…
is there any way to load pictures included in shared posts? I share a lot of google reader stufff and pix are pretty fundamental here…
great work dude 🙂
