Google Buzz

Want to hear the latest buzz? Want to know what your friends are up to or share what news you have with them? Nothing makes this easier than Google Buzz. Compared with other networking sites, this takes networking one step further in that the input is shared straight away with those people you wish to share with.

If you already have a Gmail account, then you already have contacts. This means that instead of a tedious amount of searching for emails, you can instantly send your latest news, photographs, etc., with all of your friends in real time. That's pretty cool stuff, but it doesn't stop there. Find a neat website you want to share with your friends, the Google Buzz program allows you to put up screen shots of websites to share, instead of awkward links which people generally ignore. It is interactive and allows users flexibility and choice, in that you can choose who you share with, and even go public if that is your wish.

See a video that really made you laugh out loud? The integral tools within Google Buzz allow you to share these, but again, the video gets sent rather than links, meaning instant access to your friends, rather than tedious surfing and waiting. Everything is so quick and simple, that it is logical that Google Buzz will take off big time, once people get accustomed to the ease with which the site encourages its users. No more twittering to yourself, or wondering what a tweet is. Simple do what comes naturally and share with those people you know, without the added bother.

The sharing of images is rather clever too, since these are not sent in jpg. Format which needs to be opened. Instantly the photos can be shown on screen in large format, meaning that your friends get the best shots quickly and easily, without downloading and depending on the ability of their photographic software being compatible with yours.

From Google Buzz, you do have the option to link to all of your social networking sites, meaning that everything is in one place, and easy to access. This means that sending messages is much easier and keeping up with your other social networking sites simpler.

It's neat and interactive. Instead of waiting for replies to emails or even wondering if your friend got them, within minutes, you can receive live responses. This means that you get to know what others want to share and show enthusiasm about. Interlinked with your Gmail inbox, all replies show up straight away, and are simple to access.

Add to this the fact that Google get to know what you are interested in and will present you with options they believe you would like to know about, and this makes the program even more close up and personal. Recommended links and things of interest will be sent to you, based on your activity and this opens up a whole world of interest for users.

So how does this work when you are on the move? The program is great for use on phones, and people on the move can use it every bit as interactively as those who are on a computer. Keep up with news and events even though you may not be in front of a screen.

The possibilities which are opened up by Buzz are many. Geographical location sharing is a great step forward. Imagine eating in a restaurant and being impressed with what you get. Network with friends and spread the news. Similarly, those stuck in traffic can let their friends know what lies ahead on the road. There are so many applications for this program that it would appear to be one which will evolve and which users will adapt to their required use. That's what interaction is all about, and of all the social networking innovations, Google Buzz is taking off big time. All you need to do now is join it, and be a part of what the real buzz is.
