Yeah…haven’t quite worked out what it is…probably wont waste my time with it…
I have no intention to use that either, what’s interesting there is how scared Google is of Twitter and Facebook ;D They lost the Social Network battle, and they don’t like that… I’m not into Social Networking at all, not my thing (except twitter on some very special occasions, not the topic here), but social networking has become such a huge Internet phenomenon that again, you can imagine how Google feels about it ans why they try to react with stuff like Wave and Buzz now…
Yeah…social networking…I think I may be one of very few at school who doesn’t use Facebook…
it seems google want to be a part of EVERYTHING…
I hate Facebook too … anyway, it’s all a matter of money money money as always ;D Microsoft has recently made new agreements with facebook, they won’t get the ad market there but Bing will be implemented ;D
I don’t use any social network sites, many are high risk malware bait. Facebook, no way, not so much any potential risk, but being on dial-up it is pretty much a waste of time.
yeah david facebook from what I read/heard is also a nest of malware, not even mentioning the amount of people there disclosing easily private info + bad account settings etc… etc…
I tried out Google Buzz but I don’t find it very intresting
I think that after some time, when some user installable implementation get to the stable state, wave may become quite good application for collaboration inside companies and, because its protocol is open, between companies.
That’s possible, but a quick, and even not so quick…look at the interface, currently, isn’t very exciting.
that is just what I thought when I played a bit with the Buzz interface in my Gmail account yesterday…
