Google Buzz – Twitter Killer?
According to the Google Buzz website with Google Buzz you can:
Go beyond status messages Share updates, photos, videos, and more. Start conversations about the things you find interesting
Integrating a status update or twitter like tool directly into my gmail inbox is brilliant. This is a very good indication that aggregation of Web 2.0 tools is starting to take shape. Unfortunately, users of Google Apps for Education will have to wait several months for this feature to be released. This gives me really good cause go back to my basic gmail account–at least until Buzz come out on Google Apps.
