			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-443" title="Google_Buzz_logo" src="http://media.techwithric.com/img/Google_Buzz_logo.png" alt="" width="200" height="48" />Well over the past 2 days the online community has surely gone nuts about Google Buzz. Well what&#8217;s it exaclty? Wikipedia (yup, they&#8217;ve even got a wikipedia page up so fast!) describes it as &#8216;..a social integration and messaging tool by Google, designed to integrate into the company&#8217;s web-based email program, Gmail. Shared links and messages show up in the user&#8217;s inbox.&#8217; But the question to be asked here is, &#8216;Is this thing for me?&#8217;<span id="more-442"></span></p>
<p>Much has been said about Google wanting more and more user data <em>et al</em>. With the advent of Gmail, Orkut, Voice, Wave and of course search, your online life literally belongs to Google!</p>
<p>But one thing that Google lacked was in making a social interaction system. Twitter and Facebook in their own rights proved how people can interact and discuss a great deal on a social wavelength.</p>
<p>So where does Google Buzz make the difference then? Yes you can follow others, you can get all their latest updates, share links, photos, videos etc., but so also on twitter, facebook, Yahoo meme etc.</p>
<p>The interesting twist that GB made was that to follow you, people must first access your Google profile. That sure is an interesting twist. Google, oh so desperately, was trying to promote public profiles, but who wanted it when they had Facebook?</p>
<p>Surely Google&#8217;s trump card lies in the fact that once a user enable&#8217;s his profile to be searched publicly, it&#8217;s a two way gain. The almost-perfect search could provide the profile&#8217;s of targeted individuals to perspective employers. This would make more and more people to join Buzz as well as Google profiles.</p>
<p>Also, its not a secret that Gmail is one of the most widely used web-based email apps. So why not interact socially with everyone, while checking your email?</p>
