So what’s this BUZZ is all about. Like always, here too I started a bit late. I must admit I wasn’t 100 percent confident about using this, as some of my friends had already started to complain regarding its privacy parameter. But I had to give it a shot as I had no other option (the forbidden apple has always attracted the mankind).

In the initial few hours of the journey I felt a bit strange, as unwanted shouts kept popping up every now and then. And I could not unfollow them either. It was a bit uncomfortable for me. But somehow from the initial glimpse, it looked one interesting tool that was enticing me to get deeper into it.

I started using Buzz almost after two days of its launch, and in this one week or so, I’ve found out some frames that makes Buzz a better bet than its contemporaries.

The first thing that struck me about Buzz, is its compactness. The power it offers you to grab within a pretty clean and simple interface. Especially if we compare it with its contemporaries like twitter and friendfeeds, we will find that it packs a stronger punch than them. The main aspect where Google Buzz outshines Twitter is its penetration power. The integration with Gmail has given Buzz the reachability advantage over Twitter. Moreover, its amalgamation with Google profile has also played a big role in giving a touch to its completeness.

One more aspect that I really liked about Buzz with compare to twitter is the length of allowed comment at a single stretch. Pretty often, the 140 character constraint in twitter dampens the conversation mood, which fortunately in Buzz is absent. So I can convey my bad and selfishly longer jokes to my friends without fearing about losing the mood any more. This is one constraint that I desperately wanted to get removed from twitter and Buzz has done it for me.

Frindfeed is a no match to Buzz as Buzz wins hands down with its shamelessly higher penetration quotient.

Now enough of the flowery praises, Google Buzz also comes with some terribly awful flaws which can make it a “failed attempt that had promised so much”.

One of them being the strange make or break option that opines you to either have both Buzz and Google profile or have none. If I want to deactivate Buzz, my Google profile automatically gets erased, and that’s just not done for me.

The high penetration rate also comes with a scary possibility that risks users’ accounts to get filled with spammy Buzzes.

I hope Google is definitely working on this loop holes and they will shortly come up with a more perfect and more secured version.
