The Official Broadstuff Google Buzz Analysis

The BlogoPimposphere of course is besides itself, but if we may take a more long term view:

Orkut begat Jaiku begat OpenSocial begat Wave begat Buzz.....

In other words it cannot fail. But lo - despite the hype, I see the reasonable people I know saying things like:

- Its just added an order of magnitude to my inbox, I was trying to cut it down by that
- its just another inbox
- really didn't enjoy having my contacts exposed by google buzz

And so on.....

I predict another bird that won't fly, at least not without without a lot of mods - which if the past is anything to go by Google won't do.

But of course its job is not to work, its job is to disrupt the economics of fledgling competitors like Facebook trying to get to profitability.

What will it be in 6 months time then?.
