Now that Google Buzz is out in the wild, your Google profile page deserves a little more attention. So, what all have you done to spruce up your own profile page? I’ll share with you some of the things I did to make this a much more informative page about me for Googlers to find.
First things first, you need to setup your Google profile page. If you are logged into Google in any way (for example, with a Gmail account) this is fairly easy to do. All you need to do is set it up at Google.com/profiles.
Once you fill out all the basic information, then you might want to start thinking about what pages you want to show up in the links section.
To add custom links, just go to your Google profile page, click on Edit Profile, then scroll down to the Links section. You should see several links Google knows about, that you have given it before – then you can also add your own. I have added links to all my various web pages, and then my Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and MySpace profiles.
Next, you should setup Google Buzz via your Gmail account. Once you do, anything you post via Google buzz – you will automatically share on your Google profile page.

Now there are a lot more various boxes and basic you can fill out via the Google profile page, but they are all pretty self explanatory. With the tips I gave you here, you can use your Google profile page as a social landing page for your own work and also a better way to let people know who you are and what you do.
