Google Buzz, like it’s kin Google Wave, has tremendous potential. I’m crossing my fingers that they add new features soon before people get tired of all the noise.
I’m hoping nongeeks wrap their brains around the existing features so Google can add more features.
Nongeeks will only flock there when (in order):
1. their friends are there
2. it’s the “in” place to be in
3. it’s got Farmville.
Their Gmail friends are already halfway there. Now all we need is for Oprah to get Buzzing.
Let’s hope Farmville won’t be necessary.
One of the signs, that a web application definitely appeals to its users is the number of users logging in through their mobile devices. Google knows this and they aggregated content in the most familiar way: a content-driven interface.
Good point, Romeo. You know an app’s sticky when people can’t leave home without it.
Google buzz is amazing. It’s really surprising one.
Contrary to how they launched Gmail and Wave, Google immediately rolled out Buzz without a closed beta. They surprised everybody.
Apparently, Google wanted to hit the social networking scene with shock and awe. Judging from Buzz’s thunderous headstart, their approach seems to have worked.
Hi Mike. Your post inspired me to resume blogging and give my take on Google Buzz. =)
Awesome! Yup, you’re right about the duplicate posts problem. I’ve had to be very careful about what services I connect to Buzz, just to avoid that problem.
FriendFeed detects and groups duplicate links. Let’s hope Buzz soon does the same.
