here in Zürich, Switzerland, the map is exploding with buzzes of various people all over the place. Sometimes there's even conversation happening between complete strangers, which, trust me on that, is totally uncommon here in Switzerland :-) In so far, buzz seems to have had a huge impact in the society I live in, so I'm happy. The very aggressive binding to the location IMHO really emphasizes location dependent communication over general communication - something I have used Twitter for so far and probably will still be using in the future. But for little, location dependent things like "don't visit restaurant x right now - it's full" or "it looks like the tram is late", buzz is incredibly useful and being heavily used for around here. That it also spawns conversation between strangers is a nice additional benefit.
