Google Buzz-Buzz Social Networking Tool
New Social Networking Tool-Buzz-Google Buzz
They say Twitter is simple to use. True, but usually what is so simple is not so usable. Twitter is simple but very limited. For example:
Your message can't exceed more then 140 characters. There is no text formatting. No option to paste photos or videos. No message filtering. You can't rank people or messages.
Google Buzz on another hand is very similar to Twitter (Social Networking Tool) but with much more to offer. There is no text limitation in message box. You can give "Thumbs up" for messages, forward messages to an e-mail or even post a comment through the e-mail account.
Comments and replays stay attached to posts. There is an option to link Buzz to Flickr, Picasa or YouTube accounts.
When launched, Google Buzz automatically assigned a followers to your Buzz from the people you contact and chat the most frequently via Gmail. But the knead is this; anyone who follows you can see all the people you follow. It would not be a problem, unless they can see all those private "sticky" notes (comments) attached to posts and if you flirt with your friends husband it's visible to everyone.
Because of some annoying situation last week (many complains about Privacy issues) Google was working furiously whole weekend to improve some instances of Privacy. Google don't assign anymore automatically followers but you choose (approve or decline) people to follow.
For now Buzz is not much of Privacy. For entrepreneurs who want to spread the world about their business, Buzz is the right place to do so. Others, very privacy sensitive people, wait a while. In near future it will be all about Buzz with many more improvements and features.
