Ephrem Augustine Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 So I signed into my Google Mail account, and was invited to this new feature called BUZZ. It appears to be similar to a facebook wall, where you post the buzz, updates and links to news or blogs. Anybody with a google account come across this?

laetitia crucis Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I just saw it yesterday when I logged in to my gmail. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephrem Augustine Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 I like the Facebook wall links feature to link articles. I guess my only problem with Facebook is that there are too many people, too many pictures, too much silliness. I suppose if a few more of my intelligent friends were on Buzz it might be more exciting. Anyways, every new feature is strange, but it is clear that the way Blogs evolved into Facebook status updates, it is more convenient, and helps us to share ideas.

Thy Geekdom Come Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 So far, it looks kinda lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephrem Augustine Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) Sounds like what people do on here doesnt it? Post an article or issue that is intriguing or relevent, and then discuss it. It is just more convenient. But I don't think it will be the same kind of mindless social networking synonomys with facebook or myspace.

jeffpugh Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I'm already making use of it with a friend arguing about lame-o people who complain about facebook changing all the time. lawl. He says it's what's keeping Facebook alive, unlike AOL and myspace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the farms and the mafias and hugs and hearts and bullycrap got really old really quick. It's turning into everything I hated about myspace. Plus, for me, i have some older relatives that keep using my wall like it's a personal messenger (apparently forgetting that everyone can read it). Ugh. Not in a big hurry to try yet another social networking site. It doesn't help that I didn't care for the social networking sites to begin with.
