The search engine giant “Google” is always out with something.This time they have created a buzz with Google Buzz. Well,most of us might have been hearing a lot about this tool lately. Majority might be aware of the utility of this latest buzz. For others,who are yet to catch up on this recent technology addition,here is what Google Buzz is all about.It’s a microblogging and social networking tool which can be used within our very old and popular Gmail.More precisely,Google Buzz just combines the features of the most popular “FaceBook” and the recent fad “Twitter”.So in a way, Google has just built upon on previously existing concepts.

Here are some of the features that Google Buzz guarantees:

• Follow other individuals and/or be followed by others
• Ability to publish your posts to your friends/family/colleagues and obtain comments to your Gmail inbox in real-time.
• The feature to post messages in private or public mode.
• It is possible to share links, photos and videos with followers or those you are following.
• The facility to maintain all your social networking friends' conversations in one spot.
• Sharing from your Androids or iPhones is also a possibility with Google Buzz.
We just experimented with Google Buzz and found all the above (though we didn’t test the last one) as important features.In case you are a person who has not yet started tweeting on twitter, Google Buzz would be a real excitement !

On the other hand the hitch includes:

• In case there are people who don’t generally use gmail for emailing,they would have to create an id in gmail, just to begin using Google Buzz.Since gmail was created with the whole purpose of mailing,wonder how many people would prefer to register gmail to check out Google Buzz.
• Also registering in twitter is much simpler than registering with Gmail.Check out that for yourself.
• If there are people who are already comfortable using twitter and its features, would they prefer to switch to google?Specially one feature of twitter which is impressive is the facility to change the background images.

Well somehow don’t you think that Google is having all the potential to come out with some products and tools that is truly original , instead of something like Google Buzz?
