While Google had a bad start with launching a successful social web product with Orkut and Wave, they now think they have an exciting new product – Buzz! Google Buzz is a new social site similar to Facebook and Twitter. You must have a gmail account and are automatically following those on your list. You can update your status, link, add photos and comment on those you are following.
Google has already integrated Twitter by allowing users to post on twitter automatically sending to Buzz but has failed to integrate with Facebook. However, Google Buzz can already be used on your Iphones and Androids. Although it is limited on what you can do, there are some neat features already. You can send an update and Buzz will find your location and it will pin you to that location. You can also view the real-time stream of your followers.
Will you be using Google Buzz? In a poll, Mashable asked if its readers would use it and the results were 40% yes, 21% maybe and 39% no. The question is, will you be using it? Tweet us your answer @webvideovision.
