Google Buzz

Post by sewforlife »

What do you think about?
anyone else agree that it's like facebook (with the liking comments/statuses)/twitter (following people)/gmail (all your email) put together?
Nerds rule. Nerds are awesome. Nerds will someday (soon) rule the world. And you know it.

It's weird.

I personally don't like the fact that they always have to automatically post your status... I mean, you can just look at the person's status on your chat list if you wanted to.

It's an easy way to spam people too. :roll:

I don't use either Facebook or Twitter, but Buzz's presence in Gmail, which is already my premiere method of contacting people, means that I'm using it a little.

They do need to give us more privacy settings though :?

I don't like how you get an email notification whenever someone posts something. Especially when you can see how many new comments you have on the buzz thing underneath ur inbox.

Yeah. I mean, you can just check the little thing. It's like having another inbox, but they still send you the notifications.

Oh yeah, I should've known they would add Buzz to the filtering options.
