With Google being such an awesome and innovative company, I think they really dropped the ball on this one. There is nothing that makes Google Buzz interesting enough for people to really care to use it.

Ya know, I really didn’t care about Buzz when it was just an idea, and even now, I still do not care about Google Buzz. With all the interactive content I am using with other providers Google is for me “too late” if I Buzz, I Yahoo Buzz, I have been Yahoo Buzzing since it was in Beta. Google was not able to make “Buzzing” a better experience and therefore that is just one (out of many) services that I have no intention to use anytime in the near future. Sorry Google, Reboot and Try Again

My issue wasn’t so much with the security as it was with over-promotion. Some colleagues and I tried using Buzz for collaborating on some technical reports we were writing, but at that point (in beta stage, as most google products are for a long, long time), we found it fairly buggy and didn’t live up to all of the initial claims.

Can google do no wrong? This is what I thought up until recently. With the introduction of google buzz, it seems that google has lost the plot a bit. Perhaps buzz will be a bit better once it has matured a bit? Let’s hope so.

What’s amazing is that Google normally tests applications like this in house and gains a large amount of feedback before even considering releasing it. Are you telling me that the feedback they received in house was positive? That is the real scary part.

Great post! Ive been thinking very much the same thing, Google had MORE than enough opportunity to release this thing properly. Ive since turned it off and will only use it once cross-media takes it over efficiently.
