Learn more about Google Buzz.
Google Buzz is a Google variation on Facebook, Twitter and Friendfeed, built right into Gmail, which Google demonstrated today. Buzz users can share photos, links and videos, comment and “like” other people's nano-postings.
Here are the features of Google Buzz:
1) Automatic selection of friends feeds. Apparently, Google will try to catch who knows who, based on information about social links accumulated in Gmail and Google Talk.

Will anything good come out of this? Google has once tried to use this data in Google Reader, and the public didn’t like it at all. Gmail is usually full of working contacts that no one wants to see in the list of friends. It’s unlikely that the response will be better this time, especially if the list of friends turns out to be as littered as the Gmail address book.
2) Orientation to the publication of links, photos, videos - i.e. sharing. Google promises to download user content from Flickr, Picasa, Twitter and Google Reader, a special viewer for illustrations, and for links, additional information will be extracted automatically (apparently, like Facebook).
In short, Google copied everything from Friendfeed that it managed. All this happens in the familiar Gmail interface. Google clearly believes this is a plus. In fact, this is a terrible minus. The Gmail interface is too heavy and too anti-robotic compared to Friendfeed and even Facebook.
This is especially funny because the creators of Gmail wrote Friendfeed when they left Google.
3) A variety of access rights. In addition to public nano-postings, which are instantly indexed by Google, there may be postings available only for friends. There are possible closed groups, which are available only by invitation.
4) Mailbox integration. Comments, like friends, come in real time, without manual page refresh. Nano-posting with new comments appears in the general list of letters in your Gmail inbox.
5) Automatic filtering unnecessary. What this means is not very clear, because later during a press conference, the authors of Google Buzz hushed up the issue of combating spam.
6) For the iPhone and Android will release mobile applications Google Buzz.
Question: How does Google Wave fit into the picture? He does almost the same, side view. Has it already been recognized as a failure and sent to junk? Or does Google’s right hand, as always, know nothing about the left?
