Still Looking for the Definitive, Authoritative, Official Google Buzz API?

Unless @dewitt or others can correct or amend, I'm fairly confident that it's all right here:

• Atom buzz feed standard format.
• rssCloud to provide instantaneous RSS updates?
• MediaRSS for rich media elements, video, etc.
• Activity Streams encode social events in standard Atom or RSS feeds.
• PubSubHubbub pushes feeds in realtime to subscribers across the Web.
• Salmon notifies people of responses to their status updates.
• Webfinger makes it easy to find people across social sites.
• Portable Contacts a secure way to access address books and friend lists built up all over the web.
• OAuth to access server resources on behalf resource owner and to authorize third-party access w/o sharing credentials.
• OStatus makes an easy-to-implement distributed social network.

• New! Google Buzz API official NASCAR sticker version.

• ForwardFuturetechture? Wave Federation Protocol is a new platform built around hosted conversations called waves. Released under a revolutionary license, anyone can build a wave server and interoperate, much like anyone can run their own SMTP server.
