Buzz Bookmarklet

I found it odd that I couldn't easily find a "bookmarlet" for Buzz that I could easily drag into my bookmarks bar.

Maybe I'm blind, or wasn't looking in the right places... so I wrote one. It's probably broken in some cases, and is fairly rudimentary, but here it is:

Post to Buzz (drag to bookmarks bar)

If interested, here's the code:

	/* Buzz bookmarklet, this should work on older browsers*/
	var e=encodeURIComponent;
	var b='http://www.google.com/buzz/post';
	var u=e(document.location.href);
	var els=document.getElementsByTagName('meta');
	var o=null;
	for(var i=0;i<els.length;i++){
	if(els[i].name=='description'){
	o=els[i];
	break;
	}}
	var m='';if(o!=null)m=e(o.content);
	var a='resizable=0,scrollbars=0,width=690,height=415';
	window.open(b+'?url='+u+'&message='+m,'_blank',a);
	void(0)
	/* Compressed version, this would be placed in "location" of bookmark:
	javascript:e=encodeURIComponent;b='http://www.google.com/buzz/post';u=e(document.location.href);els=document.getElementsByTagName('meta');o=null;for(i=0;i<els.length;i++){if(els[i].name=='description'){o=els[i];break;}}m='';if(o!=null)m=e(o.content);a='resizable=0,scrollbars=0,width=690,height=415';window.open(b+'?url='+u+'&message='+m,'_blank',a);void(0)
	*/

This is a more fancy (shorter) version that uses querySelector:

	/*Buzz bookmarklet, uses querySelector, works on FF 3.5+, Chrome, IE8+, Safari 4*/
	var e=encodeURIComponent;
	var b='http://www.google.com/buzz/post';
	var u=e(document.location.href);
	var o=document.querySelector('meta[name=description]');
	var m='';if(o!=null)m=e(o.content);
	var a='resizable=0,scrollbars=0,width=690,height=415';
	window.open(b+'?url='+u+'&message='+m,'_blank',a);
	void(0)
	/* Compressed version, this would be placed in "location" of bookmark:
	javascript:var e=encodeURIComponent;var b='http://www.google.com/buzz/post';var u=e(document.location.href);var o=document.querySelector('meta[name=description]');var m='';if(o!=null)m=e(o.content);var a='resizable=0,scrollbars=0,width=690,height=415';window.open(b+'?url='+u+'&message='+m,'_blank',a);void(0)
