What are the features that Google have incorporated into its new product, Google Buzz? This review on Google Buzz is going to clarify confusions about the product.Google have been thinking of bringing out a revolutionary change in the way of revealing information to its users. Steps have been taken to add social features to their products making them more like the open social platforms to share information. With the way of communicating with people online is changing its shade, there has been a Social web explosion, and people are communicating in micro level, where the primary way to communicate is to tell the world what you are up to and what is that you are looking for in a stream of real-time updates. Although it seems that social web lacks in the actual meaningful conversation, but it is the way you can make yourself social online, promote your profile, across your community and retrieve information thereby.
With these in mind Google has come up with Google Buzz, which is a social media sharing service built into the Gmail window. The Buzz allows you to share your pictures, video clips, links and update your status message, everything through your Gmail inbox and/or your mobile browser.
