There are so many new social bookmarking/blogging sites available it’s hard to keep up but I do love the idea of your content appearing on Google’s first page. It just requires a lot of effort to keep it maintained.

[...] Well I am back to guesting and recommend that you consider doing the same. Tuesday I was a guest over at Alex Syseof’s blog and had an article called 3 Reasons For A Blogger To Use Google Buzz. [...]

Oh yeah, I want to suggest this idea too: I am not a Gmail user. I run my business off my domain based email. But I send all my social notifications to my Gmail address and it is public too.

That way I can get what matters to my business email and all social notifications in my Gmail address. You get more done this way too, I only go social when I have time away from making a living and my prime contacts.

Not to mention with a Google account you get a Google profile. It appears top 10 in Google search for the name used and I think of that as my business card. Easy to find me, easy to find my social profiles and websites. Real slick, something that should not be overlooked either. Hope this helps either way…

Thanks Chris,

I haven’t looked into it deep enough, its tied to my gmail right now and does what I like. I’ll investigate additional features of the service a bit later when I have the time to dedicate to it.

Not gonna happen. It’s not dependent on Gmail, it is dependent on a Google log in. Just like Twitter is dependent on a Twitter log in and Facebook is dependent on a Facebook login.

Just like Facebook messaging comes with the Facebook messaging platform, Gmail is Google’s. No different. No more. No less.

It is up to you if you want to use Gmail. If you don’t want to use Gmail then don’t. But Buzz has little to do with Gmail except that is where notifications of the Buzz posts you follow appear.

If you use email off a domain or ISP you can get your Gmail Buzz alerts in Outlook or any email client. Don’t trust the bloggers that write hype, try it out for yourself.

Thanks Chris Luckily, I know about you although we never meet, so your comment was safe.

On Buzz – I like the personality to it right now, still working to learn more. But seem to more like what FriendFeed used to be. We will see how it goes when it really grows but I can assume that since your following attached to your email – people should be less likely to spam.

That’s a good point, thanks for taking my comment as real and not a spammer move.

I was able to find your Buzz / Google profile in search so it was easy to find you. Like you I find Buzz to be much more useful and personal than Twitter and Facebook.

Thought it would be Google Wave that would arise as Google’s social platform but it seems Google Wave was too much for most.

Glad to see Buzz getting use and support from guys like you!
