This link will explain the reason for the recommendation and allow the user to show whether they are interested or not interested. When a non-contact has added something Google feels would be of interest to the user (for example, when several of the user’s contacts have commented on a third party’s post), Google will post it to the user’s Buzz account with a “recommended” link next to it.

Unlike other applications, however, there will be no need to open a new window and enter a password instead, the email will open and you will be looking at the Google Buzz platform, with all the typical bells and whistles at your immediate control.įinally, being Google, a “recommended” feature will also be available. When a user’s post is commented on or replied to, an email will be sent to the user’s Inbox. On the downside, the default setting is “public”, allowing your posts to be found by anyone unless you specifically pick another option.įourthly, a great feature of Google Buzz is the easy integration into the Gmail Inbox. Switching between groups or posting publicly is as easy as clicking the appropriate group from a drop-down menu while adding your post. Just as in Gmail, users will have the ability to create different contact groups such as co-workers and family, as well as add custom groups. Sharing a link will also allow the user to “fetch” headlines and media from that site to display alongside their post, adding very rich experience users will find refreshing and probably addicting.īuzz will also allow easy switching between public and private sharing. Videos will be viewed in-line and in high-quality resolution without opening a new window. This allows the user to flip through their friends’ photos with zero delay, at sizes almost as large as the browser window.

Users will be able to view images, videos, links, and content pulled from other applications as quickly and easily as they always wished other platforms worked, but which usually didn’t. The second selling feature is the ability to share rich content quickly. Google claims this aspect satisfies the user’s need to have the platform “just work”. These items of interest include “auto-following”, where the user’s Gmail contacts and chat buddies automatically become reciprocal “followers”, which negate the user having to search for, find, and add contacts.

During the official launch event, Google touts Buzz’ top five highlights that, off the record, officially trump other real-time platforms such as Twitter. Buzz is already causing some industry warnings, but will probably initiate a frenzy of users and businesses ready to jump on board. Gmail users have likely already noticed the new Buzz application in their account, which, according to Google, is preset with all the users’ contacts and is ready to roll. Google literally started the online world “buzzing” with the February 9th launch of Google Buzz, the fully Google-integrated platform for real-time sharing set to rival and possibly bring about the end of Twitter.
