Google Buzz initially launched to much fanfare but sadly the excitement has faded as issues over privacy, organisation and filtering have arisen.
Google have corrected many of the privacy concerns, other features we lie in wait for.
One of the most anticipated feature releases is Buzz for Google Apps, Google’s corporate webmail and PIM service.
Today it appears Google is rolling Buzz out to selected users. Not available on the fullemail client just yet, some users (including myself) now have Buzz available on the mobile version of Buzz. This is similar to the roll out of Buzz in Gmail, which saw it available on the iPhone before Gmail.com. We can expect to see Buzz arrive in Google Apps email inboxes very soon.
The URL of Google Buzz for your domain on your mobile http://m.google.com/app/buzz/a/YOURDOMAIN.com, on a standard browser (after a few tries) we believe you should find buzz appear at http://google.com/buzz/a/YOURDOMAIN.com. Although at the moment that redirects to a page not found url.
Strangely enough, although I can “buzz” away on my iPhone, I can’t seem to find my account via my standard gmail.com buzz account. I’ve even tried following myself but no luck, I’m well and truly hidden.
This evening, at 7pm PST Time, we’ll see Google make a major announcement. Whether this has something to do with it is possible but unlikely. We’ve been reliably informed Google has bigger news in store.

I assume you got this news from Susan Beebe as well?
I cited her in my post: http://blog.louisgray.com/2010/03/google-buzz-i…
The Google Buzz team is not responding to my questions to see if it is true, and often evasiveness leads to hints.
As the administrator for a Google Apps Education account, I can verify that Buzz is *not* enabled yet, even with “pre-release” and “next-gen” options enabled in the admin console.
But hopefully it's coming soon, as I've been a big user on a personal Gmail account.
Yeah, i got tipped to her buzz post but also saw you covered it so linked back to you. Figured it was more valuable to you than her.
oh, i also have it available on my iPhone
Cool. Sounds like it is coming to some folks. Did you see it in your Web version or just iPhone?
just phone, pretty sure this is going to be the URL though:
http://google.com/buzz/a/zee.me
The Google Maps app on the Nexus One has allowed me to post Buzz messages for a while now, to my Google Apps account – but of course, nobody's been able to see them.
Going to that mobile website address (which you can do from Google Chrome on the desktop) appears to not only work well and shows me the original Buzz messages I tried to post, in a confused way, from Google Maps on the Nexus One. I also had five followers waiting for me – previously, trying to follow me at my Google Apps account had actually resulted in following my Google Account (which has my Google Apps email address set as a verified account).
If all this sounds confusing… it is. Painfully!
Wow great news, hoping to get buzz on my apps account by tomorrow.
It would be interesting to find out if this is true. I will ask google, who are presenting Buzz to Twitter developers at London #devnest 7 tonight
Again nice move by Google. Actually i like this facility. I used this kinda similar facility in facebook. That's really cool and very happy with this news.
it’s only available at mobile access. (m.google.com/…. ). i can see buzz from another user, but i can’t post new buzz, because of missing profile. we haven’t google profile that integrated within google apps for your domain. there are a lot of features that missing from my google apps for your domain. it means that we need more time to waiting until google buzz implemented in google apps for your domain.
