Google Launches Buzz: New Social Media Sharing Platform Integrated with Gmail

by bintangkecil on Tuesday, February 9th, 2010 | News, Tech/Gadget

Tuesday morning, Google launched Buzz; the latest Google product for sharing links, media, and status updates with your friends.

Google Buzz is integrated in Gmail. So, if you have a Gmail account, you can go to buzz.google.com to turn the feature on right now!

Buzz is more than a little bit like Twitter — and a whole lot like Facebook and FriendFeed. Anything you post is automatically sent out to the people on your Google Contacts list you interact with the most. All updates are real-time, and anything you share is open for comments. You can also post privately to a select group of friends.

During the Buzz press conference, Google expressed eagerness to integrate Buzz with the company’s existing properties (Wave, Latitude, Voice) the way it has with Gmail.
