Google Buzz: Have You Tried It?

by Claris Li on February 10, 2010

Google Buzz is here!

Google Buzz is Google’s latest attempt to become more relevant to social media. As an add-on to Gmail, it’s very similar to FriendFeed and Facebook, Google Buzz has created a big buzz on Twitter and the blogosphere.



Google Buzz for Mobile

How to use Google Buzz on mobile?

Visit http://www.google.com/buzz on your iPhone or Android device, you will be taken to a WebKit-optimized interface.

If you are using iPhone, tap on the “+” sign at the bottom toolbar, and select “Add to Home Screen” to add an Google Buzz icon to your home screen.

If you are not already logged in to Google, you’ll be asked to log in, or else you’ll be taken directly to this main Buzz screen below.

Here, you can do the following:

  • View Buzz from the people you follow
  • View Buzz from nearby locations
  • View your own posts
  • Find other people

Location, Location, Location
It’s clear that the mobile component, especially around location, plays a big role in Google Buzz. I found it fun to see buzz from nearby locations on a map.

Have you tried Google Buzz? What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments.
