The Buzz Is All About Google
New day, new announcement about a new product development/cash-generator from those leviathans of Silicon Valley. This time, however, it is something they can slip under the door onto the mat without any effort on their or our part. As a way to launch a new product, they have it pretty easy, given that Buzz is an add-on for GMail, their web-based email service.
Apparently, in the coming days, users of GMail will see the link to Buzz appear under their Inbox link, and they are automatically connected to their contacts in a way similar to followers in Twitter, and Friends in Facebook. It all sounds good, but I haven’t seen my link yet in the Apps version, so it makes me wonder what I have to do.
Given that they search everything that comes in and out of my email account, maybe I should write a lovely email about them and see if that does the trick?
