The web’s No. 1 search engine Google is planning for another app that will enhance its Web presence. Application called Google Buzz, the feature will pit it against social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. Google Buzz will allow users to quickly share messages, Web links and photos with friends within its popular email service Gmail.
Google Buzz comes after the company’s several non-successful attempts to enhance its position in the warmly-contested social networking space.
As soon as Google Buzz service becomes active in a user’s Gmail account, they can find a tab for Buzz below their inbox. On clicking the tab, users can read status updates, photos and video. Buzz updates will also show up directly in user’s inbox as well as in a tab within Gmail.
According to Google, 40 people whom users talk to through Gmail and Gchat will be automatically added as friends.
Buzz will use the information from the already present email accounts of users to automatically show updates and media from people they talk to regularly. However, it will also allow users to share information privately if they want to.
Status messages that users publish on Google Buzz and flag as viewable to everyone will be automatically indexed by Google’s search engine and be available within Google’s recently launched real-time search results.
Google’s buzz also lets users publish their ideas to the world or just to their closest friends. This means each update can be set to either a small group of friends or to the entire world.
User’s private updates will be directed to Buzz followers while public updates will reflect on user’s Google Profile page only.
Lets see, how far this attempt of Google would be productive to give Google a name like Facebook and twitter in social media sites. Cheers!
