How to Post to Twitter Via Buzz
When you set up your Google Buzz account, you can automatically import all of your Twitter updates into Buzz so your messages post across both services. However, Twitter does not have a similar way to import your Buzz messages as of time of publication. Two developers have created tools to meet this need, automatically cross-posting your Buzz updates as tweets.
