The Simple Genius of Google Buzz
The Simple Genius of Google Buzz

Google Buzz, the addition to Google Mail that lets users share thoughts,
links, photos and more with their friends, is off to a big start: hitting
9 million posts and comments before the end of its third day. That comes
out to 160,000 posts and comments an hour -- what Mashable (the blog
world's social media Bible) calls a "staggering, staggering number."
But will it catch on? Does the world need another news-sharing device?
To be honest, my first instinct was skepticism. After all, I already have
places to share my favorite links: Twitter, Facebook, emails, Gchat away
messages and conversations. Why did I need another platform? Of course,
that was a common reaction to Google chat as well. Most Gmail users at the
time were already using instant message services like AIM. They didn't
"need" another IM program. But the simple genius of Gchat was its
location. The email window turned out to be the logical place to have
real-time conversations because it was already a window dedicated to
keeping in touch with friends and colleagues. And Gchat took off.
The simple genius of Google Buzz (if you're already a Gmail user) is also
its location, directly under your inbox icon. This just makes sense. When
users sign into Gmail they see two numbers in the top left corner: first,
the number of unread emails, and second, the number of unread Buzz items.
One number for the things other people want you to do, and one number for
the things other people want you to read.
