Is Techmeme Indexing Google Buzz?

Yesterday we saw the launch of Google Buzz – a service that allows you to create conversations around content. The launch of Google Buzz dominated the tech news aggregator Techmeme nearly all day. One of the big complaints by popular bloggers like Robert Scoble has been that Techmeme doesn’t include content from social services like Facebook, Twitter or Friendfeed.

Interestingly, this morning I noticed that a Google Buzz item was given lead status as displayed below. And I know what you are thinking but it really wasn’t a MG Siegler item! The Google Buzz item was started by Google employee Brad Fitzpatrick. Brad was the founder of LiveJournal which was sold to Six Apart in 2005.

Brad’s Buzz item explains how to get your blog and/or feed into Google Buzz for buzzing – worth a read if you plan to use Google Buzz.

Will we see more Google Buzz on Techmeme? Was this item just the beginning of social integration into Techmeme?  I’d suggest that if Google Buzz is indexed, Friendfeed should be indexed as well. Once the current blizzard leaves NYC, I will attempt to contact the staff at Techmeme for a response.

For archival purposes, here’s a graphic representation of the Google Buzz item on Techmeme:
