If we were to overlook Google's glaring omission of privacy controls in the initial release of Google Buzz (which had negative PR implications for G), it is overall a very convenient social media service and the GMail integration is a big selling point for me as a user. Dima Ivan,

Technologies don't have to be revolutionary in order to disrupt the market. Buzz is somehow much more engaging, usable, and, as it seems, reliable (no whale page) than Twitter--yet, it doesn't offer anything that Twitter would be unable to produce, should they want to. Also, your point that Google will, presumably, do a better job at reducing the SNR seems to be yet another reason why they are likely to take a big piece of the micro-blogging market share. -Ivan Dima,
