If you have any previous searches in your history or can find one online you can still get results. It looks like only the main page is down.
For example, this Newark search still works
http://www.kayak.com/h/buzz/view?ac=...NearbyAP=false
and you can change the airport to what you need it to be.
Change the airport code in the URL, it doesn't seem to work that well in the pull downs on the form on the buzz page.
If they are removing they did not remove all of it, so I'm hoping there's still some hope for it, and it was just a glitch they are trying to work out.

It still works but you have to change the airport using the url cordelli provided.

Change EWR twice to the airport of your choice to get back the buzz feature. Also this only works for the Top 25 and not the lowest fare. It's better than nothing I guess.

But ... for how long will we be able to use this "trick" ???
I myself do not like the new version at all

This is for Chicago to Tucson. Just replace the TUS and CHIs appropriately and you can have back your Buzz! Enjoy!

I've been using the workaround link provided by Mike Cordelli for the last year...but it disappeared about two weeks ago.
Does anybody have any thoughts on a worthwhile replacement. I find Kayak/explore to be a very poor substitute....but alas it may the best option available.
