Thanks for coming by and taking the time to comment.

I don't know the answer to your question. Buzz is too new and unrefined to pass judgement on yet, but it clearly has potential, in my opinion. One of the biggest hurdles it faces, to me, is that people don't want yet another social network, and by extension, an echo chamber of the ones they are on.

Most of the buzzes I get are exact duplicates of Twitter statuses (thanks to Buzz allowing you to link the two). Even if they aren't exactly the same, most people are posting the same links, videos, photos, articles, thoughts, etc. on each network. I wrote about my first impressions of Google Buzz for the Atomicdust blog (<a href="http://www.atomicdust.com/blog/single/first-impressions-on-google-buzz/" rel="nofollow">http://www.atomicdust.com/blog/single/first-imp...</a>), and sadly, haven't really found any use for the system (especially since most of my friends who I would actually like to talk to on Buzz have given up).
