Oh dear, another off topic subject that's starting a storm. Personally I think we've got tooo much connectivity as it is. When I started in IT cell phones were non-existent and when they did come in they weighed 5 pounds bag & all. There is no private time anymore. No turning the world off. And these services are to blame. I've a younger cohort who was dating a certain young lady who was interrupted in the middle of I'm sure you can guess by a text message from twitter. Bother & shut them down.

I think the key is integration. I think Google has done a very lousy job of integrating all these new services. I think Google Docs and Gmail integrate well, but that's about it as far as I can tell.

Buzz looks to me as a 'counter' to twitter/facebook/orkut, that allow you to 'share' 'what's on your mind'. It's rather annoying really... Wave has some nice features... it has potential to become a collaboration suite some day... but it's far from it. I think that shared code editing would be a nice feature, or perhaps a cvs/svn service... I'd also like the ability to join wave with gmail... since gmail is my 'google central'... hth Alan.- On Fri, Feb 12, 2010 at 3:08 PM, Christoph <cruepprich@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Well, Wave is still in beta, so naturally there are still some bugs. I too wish there would be gmail notifications whenever waves get updated. I think, however, there may be a gadget for that. Voice seems to integrate nicely into gmail for me. Getting text versions of voicemails is certainly nice. As for buzz, well, it seems to be a twitter clone. Not sure of any good uses for it.

Not sure if I am doing it wrong, but it was like I had to add users separately outside of my gmail address book. Like it was a whole new service so I didn't bother to try and leverage it. Anyone find a way? is it integrated better now since buzz?
