After reading your post Dave, I looked into it a bit more and it’s simple and quick to use and unlike twitter a lot of my friends are aleady on there. It’s kind of empasissed in the video that this is for friends to share their up-dates rather than ‘followers’ which could be something that distinguishes or depending on where you’re coming from disadvantages it from twitter as unlike twitter, to begin with at least, you are conversing with people you already know. Although buzz allows your comments to be viewed by the public and it recommends posts by people you are not directly linked to. As ‘a friend’ I would definitely see my group of friends using buzz to share videos/links we know the rest of the group will like and generally keep each other up-dated on what we’re all doing.

I suppose like any social media using buzz depends on what you hope to gain from its use.

In general, it would make sense to use gmail to up-date your status as rather than blurring the lines between web properties it could make our use of them more efficient. I’m a big fan of gmail already using it not only for email but to instant message, store documents and share documents-this has even allowed a friend and I currently living on different sides of the world to create a blog with discussioin and feedback being gained using instant messaging and shared docs. If the both of us were also already onto buzz I’m sure we would have used this as well, creating a specific group that only the both of us could post to about what we were working on and quickly sharing links only of interest to us!

Maybe it takes off, maybe it doesn’t. But the fact that it’s hanging out in my inbox means that I’ll keep on checking it now and then as it’s not a big faff to do so. That wasn’t true of GoogleWave (in fact that’s what I hated about it).
