Last Tuesday, Google announced Buzz, a new social networking service integrated with Gmail. Buzz is a brand-new social tool that helps users to share updates, links, photos, videos, and more.
Just when we all thought we had mastered tweating now we have to master buzzing! Google Buzz is built right into Gmail so if you are a Gmail user it is already built right into your account. It can also be used on your mobile phone. If you don't use Gmail you can sign up for a free account to use the service. http://www.google.com/buzz
How is Google Buzz different from Facebook and Twitter? In many ways it's very similar. Users can post new buzz by sharing links, photos, videos, and status updates. You can comment on and "like" friends' postings just as on Facebook, and send @ messages to get specific users' attention much like on Twitter. Picasa, Flickr, Google Reader, YouTube, Blogger, and Twitter are currently integrated into Buzz.
So what should you do about this? Like anything new, try it out and see if you like it. I have a feeling we will be adding another social media icon to our websites!
Have you played with Google Buzz yet? What do you think about it? Let me know.
