“BUZZ” Google Social Networking To Hit Facebook and Twitter?
Google is ready to release a new product named Google Buzz. This new service is expectedly going to be the hardest rival to compete the popularity of social networking sites existing now, Facebook and Twitter.
Not far from Facebook and Twitter, Google Buzz allows users to update status, share web links or photos with colleagues directly via Google’s e-mail service Gmail. This feature will also be compatible for Android based mobile devices. In fact there will be a special application for the Symbian operating system and Windows Mobile.
Indeed, the technology adopted in Google’s Buzz is similar to some key features in Facebook or Twitter. Google of course hopes that more and more users using Gmail and attract users Facebook and Twitter.
According to Google’s Product Manager, Todd Jackson, Google Buzz will be enjoyed by all Gmail users. Currently, Gmail is the world’s number three most-popular e-mail service after Windows Live Hotmail and Yahoo Mail.
Many features of Google Buzz can be a potential tempting for Internet users. For example, the published status messages are automatically indexed and available in real-time search results of Google. Content can be shared easily in a variety of Google’s online products such as Picasa and YouTube.
Meanwhile, as reported by Reuters on Wednesday, third-party content such as Twitter can be divided even though the user can not publish a message on Twitter. But unfortunately, Buzz could not display the messages coming from Facebook. Google previously had tried to take part in social networking services, such as the networking site Orkut. Orkut failed to shine comparing with Facebook. But who knew their luck will change with Google Buzz.
Definitely google buzz is going to give a big hit to other networking sites like facebook and twitter.
