Google Buzz review: First look
By Tony Crammond,
Rating:
It may not be ground-breaking but Google Buzz certainly opens the social networking market up to users who might not have previously shown an interest. Users that historically perhaps only used the email service from Google will almost certainly find themselves communicating with their friends via Buzz and mobile users may well turn to Buzz in light of poor handset support for Facebook by mobile developers, notably those developing for Android.
Overall we'd recommend you give it a look when it hits your Google account over the next few weeks. It has loads of potential and anything that allows us to stay in touch with our friends or colleagues without being asked to take quizzes or play Farmville definitely gets a thumbs up.
And, with its photo and video hosting capabilities it may even turn the head of the hard-core Twitter user. But only time will tell.
