I wonder if more people are going to check out Buzz today because of the little post by @laporte@gmail.com. Today Buzz is actually really showing it's power in two ways. One is by the numerous users actually trying to help Leo out, and those who are against him. I personally am on the fence about this issue, I have offered some feedback on his buzz post and on the other hand I feel that he should have asked other users first before posting a blog post since he is so very influential.
However, regardless of the issue at hand, thanks to Buzz and it's threaded conversations people are able to give feedback related to an issue and make it easily accessible. And at no time has there been a fail whale or a slow in traffic on Buzz.
