Google Buzz launched a few weeks ago, and even without a completed API, somef developers are still building their own tools and apps to take advantage of buzz and make it easy to integrate with existing websites.

We covered some of the options for integrating Google Buzz with your WordPress blog and how to create a separate Buzz desktop app, and now we're seeing programs like BuzzAware cropping up.

BuzzAware was created by the same team that created Twitdom, a highly successful Twitter application directory with more than 1,500 apps. The new program isn't quite as extensive as the Twitter version -- so far the selection is limited to 18 applications divided into four categories: browser, desktop, mobile and web.

The web category, which includes both blog plugins and tools like a Twitter contact importer, has the most entries right now -- which is to be expected.

Still, the Adobe Air-based Google Buzz desktop app and some of the browser plugins might be new additions to Buzz-seeking users.

The success of the BuzzAware project will largely depend on how quickly the Buzz API is expanded and opened up to developers. However, BuzzAware is off to a good start.
