I just created a website with auto-updating Google Buzz widgets to put on your website! Make sure you try it at

buzz-stats.com

Am I the only one experiencing loading problems in Google Reader after adding LOTS of new contacts in Buzz? Google Reader loads very slow or doesn’t load at all (only the top bar shows up). If there is anybody else with the same problem – I hope my solution will be a temporary help for you. Well, to be completely honest – there is no good way to avoid Reader slow downs. But at least, there is a way to see the elements of particular feeds/folders. I noticed that trying http://www.google.com/reader/view/?page=trends (in fact, any site on Google Reader without friend-shared items) works a lot faster (still takes about half a minute in my case).
