Wht's the BUZZ bout BUZZ

First of all....BUZZ ROCKS
This is not just cuz Google is awesome, but BUZZ actually rocks.. I didn't say this bout Wave because quite simple Wave didn't create that BUZZ( pun very much intended).
The best thing that Google did was integrate onto gmail. So that basically did 2 things
  • Integrate all of Google's services with their social networking platform which makes it one complete stop for somebody who justs logs online.
  • Since all your Gmail contacts are there, they already have a big user base to start of from and that just makes it better for social networking.
What I think will help is that people should choose how they want their notifications- where they want it by mail or some other option like how it is on Facebook.
The privacy settings people are talking about are really stupid. Obviously Google made them such that you can change it. People just hear that the privacy setting on Buzz are bad and believe it with out trying out for themselves.
But what will Buzz mean for Twitter and Facebook
  • Twitter will lose out on a lot more than Facebook as they have a smaller user base at 58mil.. Also Buzz is very Real-time so this is exactly what will hurt Twitter.
  • Facebook will lose out on a fair chunk of users. But it will take a lot more time for that. But I know for a fact that a lot of my friends are using Buzz to communicate and network. I still use facebook, but now I keep in touch through Buzz.

So this is how I think it is. What goes around comes around.

Orkut(Google)-----> Facebook---->Buzz
So if anybody agrees with me, feel free to BUZZ ME!!
