It was only a matter of time before Google would jump out stating it isn’t into competing Facebook or Twitter. Well today it did as it stated that its social networking project; Google Buzz is only there to complement the existing players in the social networking scene. Sounds quite uncompetitive or perhaps it thinks it will ease away Facebook’s fear of Buzz being a potential force to reckon.
I totally agree on this that Google Buzz might not be beating Facebook anytime, given than the social network has over 400 million users, but you can’t rule out the possibility of Buzz doing great. Why? Well it utilizes Gmail which has over 176 million users at present and each one of them uses it for all sorts of email related work plus using Google Docs and various other services the search giant offers. Those number of users is one reason why over 9 million posts were made in just hours of the launch of the Buzz and millions of users jumping the bandwagon. I personally think the reason why it has been used or rather adopted by so many is because it offers users the interaction which they look forward to. I would call it conversation and to be honest this is just a next step Google took on its threaded emails on Gmail.
