So, what do you think of Google Buzz. Do you think it will fly? Or will it sting Facebook?
first impression is good. but i don't know how to stop the messages in inbox. I think it will be good alternative for twitter.
I think it's going to kill Twitter and I wrote a hub about it.

I'm waiting to see how it works from within Gmail before I decide if I like it or not.
I saw it today on my gmail, but have not taken a good look at it yet. Really, at the moment, I am not interested.
Enjoying it thus far. I know people have complaints about it (especially FriendFeed people who seem to think it's too similar and yet not as good) but I'm a fan of the format. Plus I think Google does a good job of adapting stuff over time so it'll change as it needs to in order to make people happier with it.
so far didnt feel anything fun there.
And people not get so many activities too.
Wait and see.
Google Buzz right now has too many issues. It's a beta product that got pushed to release too soon. All of the problems like privacy policy issues, ease of use, navigation, integration with gmail, auto opt-in, etc. are going to bring Google a ton of headaches.
Google buzz is a bit more risky than Facebook and Twitter. Because facebook and twitter do not mix with our email contacts and buzz is directly associated with us. check out my blog for some potential issues I raised in my latest blog post. blog.khmohsin.com
I've turned it off for now. Not much use at the moment.
If you choose your settings wisely, I think Buzz should be fine.
Within an office, or among close friends it is ok, but you may need to consider having multiple email ids to keep some BUZZ private.

Does social networking bring us closer together, or further apart?While sites like facebook and twitter enable us to share vast amounts of our lives with others in an instant, are our intereactions in fact becoming shallower?

I've noticed something kinda weird, after I write something, I put it on Facebook, because I've worked hard on it, and letting everyone I know that I have written a new hub. Do they or even even disliked it or leave encouraging words? Nope...nothing....zip, zero. I'm not sure if they know...

Just wondering what sites Hubbers use to promote their articles? I have seen a lot of changes over the years with some sites no longer allowing links in forums or comments, and some article sharing sites just going away. I primarily use Facebook and Twitter these days to share my...

Does having Facebook and Twitter accounts boost traffic to Hubpages?I'm trying to figure out the best ways of increasing traffic to my hubs. I'm using Digg and Stumbleupon; I've tried Reddit, now I'm wondering if trying Facebook and/or Twitter will do anything.

In my opinion buzz is great tool, but one thing i noticed is its displays entire post from a blog or website from connected websites, it should be configurable, like how many words to show, or how many links to show etc. right? whats your views and opinion and whats good thing about buzz ?
