I don’t see how google buzz will compete with facebook it’s a different way to communicate with your friends.

lrn2redundant,

Facebook would lose its’ value in 6 or 7 years anyway.
Just look at Myspace.

Be interesting to see how this pans out – Google can take
Buzz in pretty broad spread of directions. Wouldn’t be a
surprise if you’re right about people migrating to Buzz and
leaving Facebook in the next couple of years. History shows
that despite people claiming that there’s huge barrier to
switching social networks; in fact, it doesn’t take much for
groups of people to get bored with one service, and migrate
en masse to a new one.

i hate clarifications but just in case it’s needed here goes

i do like buzz – but it’s got to get a. lot. better.
it’s kind of buggy right now, but it’s still early
i’m not judging, just observing

i also agree with most of kevin rose’s critiques

this is all just imho, of course, but here goes

friendfeed does just about everything buzz does better, and does a lot more!

friendfeed’s features are still better to me, and the threads come into my normal gmail inbox… or there’s the desktop notifier. The list and groups (and imaginary friends) features of friendfeed are features that haven’t been done anywhere else in a manner that I find satisfactory (facebook’s lists are actually ok though). And to top that all off you can embed a friendfeed post anywhere you have html access!

go to my site & my blog to see examples of friendfeed embeds
on my site i’ve got a big friendfeed embed
and on my blog subdomain some of my blog posts are friendfeed embeds

eventually this comment will make it into backtype and appear on fiendfeed where i might then embed it on my blog

i’ll stop now, i think i’ve explained myself

I think Google Buzz is a terrible idea. How nice, now I can waste time directly in GMail,
which is a tool I use to work…
