So Google launched their Twitter competitor - Google Buzz. Is it worth buzz?
Here's the lowdown: It's basically just like Twitter (share truncated personal anecdotes, links, images, videos), but only to the pals you gmail (but not if you have a paid business gmail account - you have to wait - funny how the free accounts get stuff first over there). So it's Twitter, but in a limited universe. Which is fine, if gmail is your universe - but why limit yourself?
If you are like most social networking narcissists, then you want the biggest audience you can get right? Well, Twitter will still deliver that, so don't switch...yet? (TBD)
I will be monitoring the popularity...but with the broadcast limitations of Buzz, I doubt if it will ever catch on.
Remember waving? Do you still wave? Or did you never get "invited"? (What's social about "invitations" anyway Google? That's more like "exclusive" or "cliquey".) Perhaps you got the invitation, but again, only had a limited group to wave to...be honest now, do you wave? Do you love it? Please leave your comments - I haven't been able to get into it.
Listen up rock star nerds that keep cranking this stuff out: Successful social networking tools and trends work for one reason and one reason only: they put people in touch with each other. And the ones that make that easiest and connect the most people? They win.
Try Google Buzz for yourself - if your universe uses gmail - then by all means.
I want your comments - share your thoughts on Google Buzz, Waving, etc.!
Keep Clicking,
