EdgeTheory Conversation 4: Buzz’s Mixed Focus of Content Creation and Collection
Google Buzz, only a week old, is gaining a lot of visibility, and is seen as Google’s most direct attack against social upstarts Facebook and Twitter. Some really like it. Others are up in arms about perceived privacy violations. Louis Gray and Chris Saad discuss whether Buzz’s clear mimicry of FriendFeed and other existing sites missed a new opportunity to innovate – and become a true social network aggregation tool, including aggregation of gestures.

Companies discussed include: Google, Google Buzz, GMail, Google Reader, FriendFeed, Facebook, my6sense, ReadBurner and Seesmic.
