Hitesh Posted 10 February 2010 Share Posted 10 February 2010 Anyone tried it? Its supposed to be a cross between Facebook and Twitter but seems to be lacking some features atm! I can't see it picking up to be honest but we'll see! One good thing that I can see coming out of it is mainly for mobile use where they "buzz" you if there are delays on the tube/rail etc. Or if you wanted to meet a group of mates and they "buzz" you a location on the google maps. But you need a pretty decent phone to make use of it. BBC Report Google Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be used by enough people no doubt, but whether it actually takes off is another thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already have loads of these hybrid social network sites that people view as second division, Bebo, Windows Live, Friends Reunited, bolt, habbo, maybe even myspace to a degree!

Sir Fynwy Posted 11 February 2010 Share Posted 11 February 2010 Googles increasingly desperate attempts to get into the social networking arena make me laugh, anyone remember google wave? anyone actually using it? They've missed that boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got wave, though as you say, hardly ever use it. Seemed to take an eternity to roll out and because so few adopted it that it was kinda pointless. Pity because some of the additional features were quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myspace is definitely second rate these days, I dont know anyone who still uses it to talk to people. It's only use now is for music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
