Google may have finally figured out social media, even if there have been some major slip-ups in the way. The implications of that realization could dramatically change social media as a tool and as an industry.
Key quote: When will Google Buzz get bigger than twitter?
Answer: It already has.
I respectfully disagree that Buzz has already got bigger than Twitter. It was only a couple of months Google opened WAVE, which I belive an amazing tool. But before it became fully used, Buzz popped up. So I deeply believe it should have a stable strategy in how many tools we can have/use, how many places we should put our voice.
G-Buzz seems better suited for official communications — such as local government emergency response — than Twitter or Facebook because Buzz provides better records retention and management functions.
Benjamin! Excellent point! First time I’ve seen that!
