Google Buzz: The Death of Facebook and Twitter?
One of the well-liked internet trends today are Social Networks. And as we all know, along with the trends is a competition. Social Networking sites battle each day to simply dominate. And as of today, Google has put a threat to social networks because it has finally launched its social stream in the web. Google masters named it Google Buzz!
Does this mean that the death of Facebook, twitter and other social web has finally drawn nearer? Well, that all depends. Buzz will probably be having problem integrating with other existing social sites today, especially in integrating with Facebook. It is far possible for Buzz to make a place on the web without incorporating with Facebook, one of the dominating social sites these days. But fortunately, it still has this least chance because, today, as Google publicized the Buzz, they say that those who join Buzz will be able to share their Twitter updates to their followers. But, is having a single integration enough to survive in the web? Most especially if this would only allow a one way relation. By this, it is meant that Twitter can publish to Buzz, but Buzz can not publish on Twitter on the other hand. What a waste, is it? But realizing that the Buzz does not have even the slightest integration with Facebook is more unacceptable.
The bottom line is, Google Buzz is noway possible to kill Facebook or twitter either. As an outlook, there is not even the slightest chance to make the Facebook and Twitter users completely abandon them for Buzz, unless Buzz will be integrating the way it does with twitter. There are always rooms for Improvement, anyway.
