Get Your Buzz On

Google announced their latest social networking strategy by releasing Google Buzz yesterday…

Big step towards the centralized, portable profile mentality by combining the social buffet of stand-alone platforms & channels. In typical Google early-release fashion, it lacks certain items – such as the ability to update your Facebook/Twitter status…but will in time. Having the ability to cut and then measure is an impressive feat.

The various communications tools are being molded – the neat thing is that you’ll still have the ability to customize your own mold depending on your own usage. Email, chat, groups, status, files, geo-location…you’ll get to do all the things you’re already doing, under one roof: Google’s roof.

Here’s the TechCrunch Google Buzz article if you haven’t seen it yet.

Your thoughts? Is this simply Google Wave with training wheels?
