Google Buzz challenges Twitter And Facebook

by Devesh on February 11, 2010 · 18 comments






Google officially rolled out their Buzz service on 9 February, 2010. Logging into your Gmail account, you should already be seeing it there.  Google Buzz has many good Features and some bad features also.

What is Google Buzz?

So, what’s the Buzz? Google’s new social medium. It let’s you use your Google/Gmail account to automatically get into a network that encompasses all other Google/Gmail users.

We focused on making the sharing experience really rich by integrating photos, videos, and links. No more fuzzy little pictures: Buzz makes it easy to quickly flip through photos and experience them the way they were meant to be seen: big and full-resolution. And videos play inline so you can watch them without opening a new window.


Here’s a short video by Google demonstrating what Buzz can do -

Google Buzz Key Features:

  • No Setup Needed
  • No setup needed
  • Share publicly or privately
  • Inbox integration
  • Connect sites you already use
  • See updates in real time

Some Bad Features :

  • When you link your Google profile from any web page it’s going to be disadvantage as most people would n’t like a profile with some random Id
  • A user may not be able to find his other friends or buzz until you know their profile links

Let’s hear more specifics for why you love or hate the Buzz in the comments.

Well, feel free to call me a skeptical mind but i seriously doubt that Google buzz has much in it. I believe it is too Late, Dull and Probably Going to Flop – http://techchunks.com/social-media/the-buzz-about-google-buzz%e2%80%8e-its-too-late-dull-and-probably-going-to-flop/

I wouldn't say that G Buzz is anywhere close to even challenge Twitter or Facebook just yet but it is all set for a good competition here!

Inbox integration is the best feature I think is in Google Buzz.No need for separate login.

To me Buzz seems like a spam. The moment it made its appearance it added all (!) of my friends to followees and now every time I log in, I see like about 100 useless posts. I had to move it to invisible tabs in order not to see the amount of unread messages – at least it was simplier than make 200 unsubscribe’s.
