I Am a Google Fanboy. Now that we’ve got that out of the way ….
Last week, Google announced Buzz, its entry into the socia media sphere. I’m not going to get into the details of Buzz; there are plenty of journalists and bloggers out there who already have.
In fact, I’m not particularly excited about Buzz. I don’t have room for another time-waster in my life. Facebook (and urlesque.com) fill that void nicely.
Nevertheless, anytime Google announces something new I get excited. There’s nothing I love more that settling in to watch one of those folksy little videos with the white background. Show me something cool, Google!
Well, Buzz may not be all that nor a bag of chips, but I still got a little charge in anticipation of the press conference. I use Gmail, Docs, Calendar, Reader, etc., plus I’m an Android phone user. Their new product developments often directly affect my experience. It’s a little scary to have some many eggs in one basket, but so far so good. Let’s hope they keep the coolness coming!
