Google Gets Stung by Its Own Buzz, by David Mattison , Newsbreaks (Feb 22)
The whole story about Google Buzz in one article - background, launch, reaction, and how to use it. The reaction to Buzz has been largely negative because it was forced on people, but Google users are bound to try it out once a few fixes are in place.
Conclusion:
"Mashable's Ben Parr admirably summarized the impact of Google Buzz on the social media landscape: "Gmail integration, real-time commenting, ease of use, and a new base of users that might not have been as socially engaged are now part of the Buzz universe. ... The social media landscape has been permanently altered. To ignore Buzz would be a costly mistake, because Google has finally created the definition of a game-changer""
