Google Buzz observations

So far, very very cool. It's amazing being able to pull up Google Maps and see other users in your area, what they're saying, and being able to comment on it publicly. So far, it feels like Twitter on steroids. One very interesting thing I've noticed, though, is that when you get an email notification that someone has commented on a Buzz that you commented on, each notification appears in the ORIGINAL email notification you got, very much like how Wave works. It's quite nice!

All in all, it feels more robust and "complete" than Twitter does. It'll be interesting to see how the web GUI feels, and how it connects with Facebook and other social networks.
