Can somebody explain what Buzz actually does?
As far as I can tell, it is filling a tab on my inbox with random messages from people I've never heard of (though presumably are in my email address book or something), saying things like "I am testing Buzz."
How is this supposed to improve my life?
- EricBurnett 17y agoPresumably you accepted the default suggested people to follow. Go to the buzz tab, unfollow anyone you don't immediately recognize, and it becomes like facebook except integrated into gmail and only for people you actually communicate with. Improve your life? I don't think anyone can answer that yet - it depends how people end up using it. And if you decide you don't like it, opt out.
- calcnerd256 17y agoOpting out is at the bottom of the page, by the way. It's right next to opting out of chat.
- colonelxc 17y agoIt does not opt you out, it only hides buzz from your gmail Disabling Buzz: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10451703-2.html http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10451703-2.html
- jasonkester 17y agoYeah, but there's the rub. I unfollowed everybody it would allow me to, but there's still a couple people there without "unfollow" in the dropdown list of options. They're marked "Twitter - Public" instead of "Buzz - Public", which is probably the reason they're un-unfollowable. Unfortunately, they're also the loudest and most innane of the bunch.
