First, while still having some little bugs, the gmail integration is done really good. That's probably the best thing after looking at buzz for one day. Second, is this Author pretending to be knowledgable of tech? This blog post is one of the worst informed posts i've seen so far. On a technology he is pretending to know about. I mean the part about Google Wave. He should know, that Wave is not really intended for real use nowadays. There isn't even a client protocol done by the developers! That should tell you about the early state of wave. There also is no federation, i don't see other wave servers connected to google wave popping up. Without a client protocol and several running wave servers, Wave is just tech preview thing, not more. Third, he probably has missed the new century. People can complain over social networks, but he may have missed that social networks are overtaking mail and IM in terms of communication channel at the young users, the internet population of tomorrow. In that way, integrating buzz with gmail is a _perfect_ fit! That some old guy is complaining will be something we laugh at in a few years. Anyway, not one point of constructive/objective critisism in this blog post, just "ohhh, i'm scared, i don't want that new stuff, i want my old mail back!!". Why doesn't he unfollow his pre setup followers and be done with it? It's not like Google forces him to read status updates of his friends. All in all, the post is a shame for a blog post that is supposed to be about new technology. Also, it is worth mentioning, that buzz is probably the most developer friendly and open social network out there http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/apis/buzz/ http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/apis/buzz/ .
