Google Buzz: Google Takes On Twitter, Facebook & Even Foursquare

Category: Social Media
Google has announced a new product called Google Buzz, which represents the company’s latest attempt to hitch its wagon to the popularity of social networking and, more specifically, the growth of social sharing and status updates.   Many will call this a Twitter killer or a threat to Facebook. Certainly the company is targeting the audiences that Twitter and Facebook serve, but suggestions that Buzz will kill them are overblown. From Orkut to Lively to Google Friend Connect and beyond, Google has tried to succeed with social products that just haven’t caught on. There’s no guarantee Google Buzz will be any different.

Another solution from Google to a problem we didn't know we had. Curious to hear if others find this latest foray a smart growth move, or simply further dilution of their brand.

Without having looked at it much, it seems to me that it's a substitute for GoogleWave which appeared to be a bit of a bust since you had to go to a separate place to use it. This one could at least have a bit more traction.

Of course, now that I use gmail via Imap through Outlook, I rarely go to the web-based gmail page anymore, so I don't think I'll be using it much.
