Google Buzz: Google's approach to sharing through Gmail!
TechCrunch says the following about Google Buzz:
1) Auto-following. We didnât want users to have to peck out a totally new social graph. There has always been a giant social network under Gmail. You auto-follow the people you email and chat with the most.
2) Rich, fast sharing experience. Same nice Gmail UI and keyboard shortcuts. Special attention to media.
3) Public and private sharing. We want things Google can index, but also private messages.
4) Inbox integration. The inbox is the center for communication.
5) Just the good stuff. Some much social data, we need to filter the noise.
