What’s All the Buzz About?
Today, Google announces their latest Google Buzz. In the past, Bradley Horowitz, Googles vice president for product management, dreamed for Google to have a platform that allowed its users to share experiences, much like Facebook and Twitter. Horowitz’s dreams came true.
Google Buzz allows you to follow people as well as have them follow you back. Buzz lets you post links, share photos and comment on just about anything. In order to access this feature, you must have a Gmail account. Below are instructions on how to access the latest tool (assuming you are already on the Google bandwagon). Let us know what you think!
First you will want to visit: http://www.google.com/buzz and then click “Try Buzz in Gmail” to get started.
You are then taken to a “Welcome page”, where you you will want to go in and customize your profile. You can change your picture, add a URL, connect to your Twitter account among other things.
Once you are satisfied with how you appear to your Google followers, be sure you save your profile. Couple more steps and you will be ready to post! Google also provides you with a list of your current followers along with suggestions. Not satisfied with Google’s suggestions? You can search for your friends by either name or email address.
It would appear now that you are ready to post! Doesn’t matter what you post, a link, a picture from your Flickr account, whatever you are feeling that day. Enjoy socializing!
