Does Google Wave, How Google Buzz

Do not get me wrong, I'm a G-evangelist-through and through. I've been using G-things long jump all new material as soon as it comes, because I want to see how much life has been simplified. Every time I go into my Google account target = "_blank" title = "Google Options"> Options I laugh because I'm using about 1 / 2 of the items almost weekly if not daily.

Lately I've been playing much with latitude, and Google Wave Buzz. Google latitude, I love it because it's my way of seeing where my friends are in real time. I just continue receiving more and more impressed with the technology of maps and layers, I think it's only going to be better and actually represent a problem for the likes of Garmin and other companies GPS technology.

Now What's the buzz about Google Buzz? I'm sure you've logged into your Gmail and seen all the Buzz and is likely to invite joined over many of their contacts. I'm not really sold on it yet because not enough people in it have to be a necessity. I look forward the idea that just log into Gmail and not have to jump for Facebook to see what everyone is doing. I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the thread, but nevertheless think the potential of word of mouth if you add a little more graphic (image) features and all your friends using. You will not have to switch between Facebook and Gmail, just access Gmail and stay there all day, while getting Facebook on your talk. If you can prevent the farms, the Mafia and other spyware applications that integrate, I'm sold. The golden rule of social media marketing and social media in general is that you do not take people where they are. Everyone is moving to Gmail, if they move to Buzz, well … Facebook can start to see some change in usage. The children are beginning to tone down on FB, which may be next.

How many of you are using the wave? I started full-bore, but have cooled to a low simmer in these days. I forced the entire enterprise, almost, in use Wave right after you left. I used to document collaboration, blog outreach, development partnerships and tried to do market research with him. It's impressive, graphical and easy to be operated logon.

Both Wave Buzz Google and Google are impressive and I am sure in the future will become an integral part of our lives. Now I am a wee bit frustrated with them the launch of Buzz and wave when they have not been fully cooked.

I hate to say it, but for once, Microsoft is doing something some reason, they are waiting longer to launch products (side view) and get closer to "right" that even Google. Google, I love you, but rapid application development does not mean you have to throw everything to the public, still in beta, without some of the basics in place. Microsoft got away with this for years and we accept it because we to.

I am sure that Google will end up cleaning things, which could eat into the Facebook market share and go after some number of Twitter. You really can leave all of us simply dominated by where we are.

I talk to people all the time effective marketing media social and the first thing up is always that you can not pull or push people away from where they are, we must reach them where they are and in a way that does not turn on people. We already have with Google Gmail, Google voice and other applications to see if he can stay where we are, or require us to maintain heading to FB and Twitter.

Microsoft, we are still watching.
