So I’ve added the new Google Buzz into my GMail and see if I can see some use for it. I’ve also added my YouTube, Twitter and sites like YugaTech.
Now, updates I make on those sites and accounts will also appear in my Google Buzz stream. Likewise, updates made by people (comments, etc.) will also be streamed into my Google Buzz. I only wish though that comments made on the Buzz will also be inserted into those sites (the other way around).
So, I’m looking at my Google Buzz as an stream of alerts. Other than that, I don’t see any use for it now. Feels like channel surfing.
But what happened to Google Wave? Buzz looked like a scaled down Google Wave to me. Hopefully, this won’t be another time-waster. I got some nagging privacy concerns too.
How do you find Google Buzz so far?
Freakin’ intrusive. Sneaky move right there, Google altered the service by suggesting these strangers and unwanted feeds you did not subscribe for. Tsk tsk. Privacy alert.
F*ckin’ intrusive!!! How do I turn the damn thing off?!?
For the privacy issues:
