A few minutes from the end of the event has concluded that Google’s headquarters in Mountain View in California and we can talk about all the new product that will give plenty to talk about: Google Buzz, Google’s bid for users to share items conveniently from the same Gmail inbox or from mobile phones.
Buzz integrates the most used social networking , as the items from Google Reader, Twitter, Flickr, Picasa, Youtube videos … we can share pictures and videos without having to move the page thanks to the players and presenters incorporated (the image viewer is the one inherited from Google Wave). So once we connect with all these networks, we may share elements.
Also, Buzz integrates Google Maps into a kind of heir Latitude , can view on a map the location of Buzz Posts closer together, and we can choose, among other things if we want to share some message or item with the world or just some specific contacts.
How to focus on Google Buzz?
For the moment I see many ways of looking at Google Buzz . It is for Twitter, because we can publish status messages. It is for Facebook, because as you said in the question and answer session removes all the “wasted time” like games and focuses only on how useful (and sharing items that people can comment) as attempts to Facebook Lite. Direct competition is almost like FriendFeed and brizzly services as Buzz offers a glimpse at what all our friends right from Gmail. It is for services like Tumblr and Posterous as Buzz share anything as do the two pages with the possibility that we discuss.
In summary, Buzz can be a serious competitor to existing networks now . And the advantage is clear: Run by the same inbox of millions of users has ensured that many people will prove (something to Wave, being an innovative but completely separate, it has failed) and achieved significant initial growth.
: This will also not just limited to Gmail. Is extended to the profiles of Google, Google Maps on your mobile , and even from a phone can publish status messages recording them with the phone, so no need to write. Google understands that the key has been full integration network to adopt this almost effortlessly.
Buzz is being applied to all Gmail accounts as you read these lines, so if you are lucky and you can see and test the new service right now. However, in what was said at the event, Google Buzz take a few days before to appear in absolutely every Gmail account . Even so, and you can try the service directly from buzz.google.com on an iPhone or an Android phone.
