  1. Why no one cares about privacy anymore

    Cnet News &bull Mar 12, 2010

    Google co-founder Sergey Brin adores the company's social network called Google Buzz. We know this because an engineer working five feet from Brin used Google Buzz to say so. I just finished eating dinner with Sergey and four other Buzz engineers in one of Google's cafes," engineer John Costigan wrote a day after the Twitter-and-Facebook-esque service was announced. You might call Brin's enthusiasm premature, especially since privacy criticisms prompted Google… Full Story »

  10. Brilliant Google Product Policy and Why Buzz Is Wise

    Profy &bull Feb 19, 2010

    Given how huge Google is and the giants reputation in the online business world, it is no wonder that everything that Google chooses to launch as a new product never stays unnoticed and gets tons of coverage in the blogosphere and in traditional media. The latest addition of Google Buzz is no exception, of course, as the blogosphere could not ignore Google trying to popularize the idea of lifestreaming to millions upon millions of users of Gmail, its wildly popular web-based email service. In fact, I think it will be no exaggeration to guess that for quite a number of… Full Story »

  19. Google Buzz copied FriendFeed's worst features, why?

    Scobleizer &bull Feb 15, 2010

    Google Buzz actually has a lot of users and much better information flowing through its veins. Theres a reason that FriendFeed doesnt have many users: it has some very anti-user features that retard user adoption (back when I was excited about FriendFeed I kept hoping that FriendFeed was going to fix some of their issues). It has pretty nice location features built in, especially if you use Google Maps on Android. They are infatuated with real time flow (items flow down my screen) but unlike FriendFeed they didnt give you an option to turn that off. For users who are… Full Story »
