Buzz Discussion

After my two previous articles I’ve found that I love writing about the ideas I come up with for someones product. Whether it is for my projects or just a site I use, I just love the creative thinking of looking at something and thinking of ways of how I would make it better if I could. So starting today I am introducing these new type of articles, articles of ideas that I have for someone else’s website, program or tool. I will be updating these articles with other ideas as they come to me, so be sure to come back and check them out.

The past few weeks I have been using Google Buzz as my main social media outlet, trying to find new ways to help improve the service along the way. Currently the main features I see in Google Buzz are: post status updates/Buzz posts, share website/blog updates, RSS feeds from Google Reader, Twitter updates, images and video from Picasa, Flickr and YouTube. This is a limited selection of content that Google chose to include with the launch of Buzz, however I see this area being the best place for Google Buzz to grow. If Google Buzz allowed other sites and tools to integrate into your Buzz stream it would allow all of your favorite sites and tools to become more social.
