Google buzz Anouncement


Google lanched buzz today.



Contrary to some early critics I feel this product has great potential so I started this blog to follow up on buzz and its technologies (scripta manent).

It seems that a lot of people think that buzz will be a failure for Google, the main argument been the competition from FB and its 400 000 000 + subscribers vs the 150 000 000 or so  Gmail subscribers. I think they are missing the point by comparing quantities where quality matters more. Gmail users tend to keep an eye on their account almost all the time while I do not expect the same applies to FB users.
An other strong point for buss that seems overlooked is what we have not seen yet, buzz for the enterprise through Google appls. There is a huge installations number of G appls and I expect buzz will be the tool for socializing into the enterprise.
