What does it mean for a product to "symbolize" something? Is it the product you are objecting to or the branding?
(There are also pockets of really high quality activity on buzz. See Terence Tao's very active feed for instance: https://profiles.google.com/u/0/114134834346472219368/buzz https://profiles.google.com/u/0/114134834346472219368/buzz )
- zaidf 16y agoIt's a product with very little traction and an inferior experience to what's already in the market(twitter, fb). Unfortunately pockets of traction for a product as old as Buzz means very little. Social for big guys like fb and google is about scale, not niches.
- magicalist 16y agoit depends on what you mean by "experience." I think buzz is easily superior to twitter, but I use twitter because the community I engage with is there. does the existence of picasa's online albums somehow harm google because only some people use them?
- alanh 16y agoHere’s my discussion on the Buzz user experience, from a year ago. http://alanhogan.com/buzz-is-already-dead http://alanhogan.com/buzz-is-already-dead (tl;dr: Too distracting, not very skimmable, awkward social aspects including too many non-friends showing up.)
