Filed Under Relationships & Networking, Technology
If you are a Gmail user you may be interested in knowing Google announced yesterday their “social hub” solution called Google Buzz. The idea is to be able to start conversations via your Gmail Account about the things you find interesting, including status updates, photos, videos, and more.
Here is a summary of the details:
- Automatic integration of your email and chat contacts.
- You can decide whether you want your ideas to be private (secret diary style) or public.
- Comments will be sent right to your inbox so you can have instant access to them.
- You can now see thumbnails for photos or just browse full-screen images that are available from popular photo websites.
- You can import your stuff from Google Reader, Flickr, Picasa and Twitter so you won’t have to personalize everything again.
- Updates will be in real-time. You won’t have to worry about developing an automatic finger twitch from constant manual refreshing.
- In true 21st century style, Buzz will adapt to you, funneling in interesting content and denying the content that will be most likely unappealing to you.
- Buzz will also be available for your phone and will allow you to tag your posts with your current location.
Here is the official Google Buzz video:
