What is Google Buzz & Should You Use It?<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Start conversations about the things you find interesting.
\nShare updates, photos, videos and more with your friends.”
\n
\nSound familiar?<\/b>
\n
\nWell it should be buzzing in your ears, because Google’s latest
\nventure into social media, is basically doing what
\nthe other social\/network\/media sites like FaceBook, MySpace,
\nTwitter, Flickr… are already doing.<\/p>\n

Buzz works closely with Google’s Gmail and has 5 key elements:
\n
\n1. Auto Following
\n2. Rich, Fast Sharing experience
\n3. Support for public and private sharing
\n4. In-box integration
\n5. Just the good stuff
\n
\n<\/p>\n

Why is Google barging in on all those popular social networking sites?
\n
\nOne word – traffic. <\/b>
\n
\nGoogle knows there’s more traffic on these sites than anywhere else
\non the web, including its own popular search engine. It wants a
\npiece of the action, it wants a piece of this traffic… more
\nimportantly Google is probably betting it can completely control
\nthe mobile computing market where the big bucks are.<\/p>\n

Gaining total control is not out of the question once you consider
\nits search engine or Google.com (which Google says) is the most
\npopular home page for mobile devices and then you have to factor
\nin Google Android, Gmail, Google Voice, Google Wave, Nextus One
\nPhone and now Buzz – Google is obviously making a play for complete control
\nof not only mobile computing, but how someone uses the web – from start
\nto finish. <\/p>\n

More specifically, they want total control of what those surfers\/shoppers
\ndo on their PCs, as well as mobile devices.<\/p>\n

Actually, Google is probably planning for control of the whole Internet,
\nand not just the Internet itself – but also how it is delivered. Google has
\nmade it known it wants a faster Internet and recently announced it’s planning
\nan experimental broadband system that’s 100 time faster than what we have
\nnow. They want to test this out in a few communities first and see if they
\ncan jump-start a movement towards a much faster 1-gigabit-per-second
\nInternet.<\/p>\n

Historians will no doubt point to Rome, it was the building of their Aqueduct
\nsystem which truly made Rome a supreme power. Likewise, Google must
\nbuild a bigger Aqueduct if it truly wants to control the world’s information.<\/p>\n

Now, with Buzz, Google is showing it can and will take on all competitors
\nfor this control of the web’s traffic. After all, delivering quality traffic
\nis Google’s bread and butter, they will\/should do everything they can to
\ncontrol as much of the web’s traffic as they possibly can. <\/p>\n

Nothing wrong with that, but will web users actually use Google Buzz?<\/p>\n

Many will, many won’t, mainly because many people don’t like the way
\nGoogle collects data on its users. Privacy issues have already risen
\nregarding Buzz and your email addresses within Gmail, Google has fixed
\nthis problem, but accusations of “Big Brother” follows Google like a
\nsecond skin. <\/p>\n

But one thing you can be sure of, online marketers and webmasters will
\ncertainly use Buzz. Getting your site, products and online interests
\ntotally connected to anything involved with Google is a major plus. <\/p>\n

Google will, no doubt, be spidering and indexing all this Buzz content,
\nand no savvy webmaster or marketer wants to miss out on this free traffic.
\nBuzz is another way to promote your links and sites, it can’t be ignored,
\nespecially a program coming from Google.<\/p>\n

Just like your Google Profile, Buzz is another opportunity to get your
\nweb content connected and indexed in Google.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, Buzz will, no doubt, be another form of “democratic voting”
\nwhich is at the heart of Google’s ranking algorithm. Actual users will point
\nout the good stuff and create buzz around it. That’s why the number of followers,
\nthe number of bookmarks, the number of comments… any content\/webpage has
\nwill largely determine its ranking in the search engines.<\/p>\n

So any webmaster or marketer should use Buzz to get that slight advantage
\nwithin Google. All those ranking factors do add up and if you want that first
\npage listing in Google’s all-important index, using Google Buzz is a “no-brainer!”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
