Google Buzz the New Thing!

Google has introduced a thing called Google Buzz. Its like a combination of Facebook and Twitter, but it actually is better and easier to use then these sites. It has a social networking feature that can be used on smartphones. You can share links, videos, images and IM chat with friends.

What I liked about it is that instead of adding people to follow you like you would in a blog or Twitter, Google automatically selects your top contacts through your email to follow you. I also like that you can create a slide show of pictures on your page and make them as big or as small as you like. With facebook, you can not alter the size which can be really annoying. Also, you have to make a slide show and then upload it to your facebook page whereas Google Buzz does it for you. To me it just saves alot of time. You can also make your profile private or publice, so you can avoid those creepy stalkers!

I just think its cool because it is a combination of sites such as youtube, an email account, Twitter, and Facebook. You can set up a profle with pictures, network with people and share your favorite videos to your followers. It shows you when you have notifications. Its like a mind of its own, it will give you friend suggestions that share the same interests and so on. You can also chat with people, while search for anything on the main google page. Its easier because everything is right there in front of you.

To relate this to advertising, I think it could be an excellant source for people who have businesses to get thier name out. Or for people who invented a product and want to share it to the world, they can advertise it on Google Buzz and you never know, it can become popular and you can become famous!

  1. I did a blog about this a couple of weeks ago and I actually agree with you on the advertising online thing but I still think it's too much to deal with on ONE social network because it combines so many things from Facebook, Twitter and even Picasa for picture sharing as a slide show other than through thumbnails.
