I couldn’t agree more. What were they thinking in Google? Why don’t they get social networks? Who wants a social network in their webmail?

You are forgetting what is Google and the power of Gmail and it’s 150 million users. I believe they will correct most of the flaws in near future.

Also, I would emphasize Davor’s statement – “Gmail users are all potential Google Buzz users”. Large number of users will use this service just because it is Google and “must” be good…

Don’t forget, in first day of launch Buzz was bigger than Twitter after a few years. Damn good start, don’t you think?

Every user of your service is a potential user of your another service, especially if you integrate them so closely together. However, seeing that the main topic since Buzz launched is how to turn the damned thing off, makes little Google panda sad =)

Did you tried to explain Twitter to regular Gmail users that are 50+ years old ? Can you say for certain that the way Google Buzz is integrated in Gmail will not make it findable and usable for users that don’t have an Twitter account ?

I can agree that Google Buzz is not a replacement for Twitter which is unique. But saying that Buzz has no future is wrong because for non Twitter and existing Gmail users Buzz is definitely findable. Its right there under your inbox.

There are around 25 million Twitter users and around 150 million Gmail users. As I see it there are 150 million potential Google Buzz users.

I Agree and just add that this tool is the worst mistake from google. But like you stated “HC” gmail and “google in general users” just want this. I personally like every tool from google but not using all of them.
