I'm finding I'm using Gbuzz differently than twitter or facebook and have decided not to hook them up to each other. Keeping up with it all is a challenge, and I'm experimenting to see what happens and whether the people I'm connected on line start to shift to one platform or another.

Even for someone pretty immersed in 'the internet' I was wondering how it was all going to work with - especially in the context of Gwave. I thought maybe I just needed a GenY brain implant or something - but maybe it is just a matter of their being too much choice. Too much choice can be distracting. I'm asking myself, what will be the return on my 'time' investment if I engage with buzz - another thing to learn when I could be doing something productive with the amazing tools I have already mastered. Having said that, I'm still going to check it out - my excuse being that I'm fairly addicted to new stuff just for the sake of it. Thanks for the video Heidi. Interesting dissection of buzz.

Thanks for the video Heidi.

I'd be giving it a wide berth. Not a fan of Google Buzz; At launch it was an arrogant invasion of your privacy, and even now, is just noise I don’t need.

I’d be giving it a wide berth.
