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. :) 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.

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. ;) Contrary to how they launched Gmail and Wave, Google immediately rolled out Buzz without a closed beta.

I'm crossing my fingers that they add new features soon before people get tired of all the noise. Google Buzz, like it’s kin Google Wave, has tremendous potential.
