The Buzz about 'Buzz'
As they say, Its better late than Never!
Google had caught up with the status update concept of-late, when Face book and Twitter has already acquired the market share 40% and 48% respectively. It seems that google never considered the idea to be potential enough unless they found the great success of Twitter.
In spite of it's late release I have been hearing some great reviews from the users about buzz.
As far as I am concerned the Idea of One-Id-For-All is a great concept, and there still would be people interested in it, thinking about the convenience of remembering 3-10 passwords for emails and social networking sites all togethe.
There are a few good things that I found with the Buzz....
1. One is that You dont have a 140 Character constrain:
I tweet a lot but didn't actually liked the way twitter refrained me to enter more than 140 characters in a single message...But Buzz in cool, you can can enter how much you want without shortening and screwing my message
2- You can integrate sites like twitter, picassa etc using Buzz, So that whenever I tweet , it is listed in the Buzz too, my every update in the sites linked to it is shown to my followers..
3- My blogspots: The feeds from my blog is pulled into buzz , now this is something similar to the previous point, but I wanted to give this emphasis, because I found this a very helpful tool to market my blog, each time I post something new, It's shown to my followers *Un-tampered* and I have found my hits on the blog Increasing after the buzz-Blogger integration.
4- It's easy: Another best thing about Buzz is that It's simple: Some of my friends still don't tweet because they cannot understand 'How To use Twitter' [Next time you I will get you a link for twitter for Dummies , I promise :P] but Buzz is simply 'Simple' that My grandma can go Buzzing !!!
5- Following friends: You can follow anyone in your contacts who has a buzz, that's cool!!! See the benefit of One-id-For-All !!
One thing I would like to see is in Buzz is; A two way data transfer to twitter [A Twitter API]- so that I can sit back in the office, and tweet through the Buzz;
This way I dont get my ass whipped by My Manager or Network guy :p!
[P.S: If my Manager is reading this post :Please excuse my french, I didnt mean you, I just meant -generally!!!]
