Google Buzz isn’t a Twitter killer
In fact, it allows you to integrate Twitter into your stream of content. The Google crew went out of their way to mention Twitter integration in the press conference, alongside integration with Flickr and Google services like Picasa and Google Reader — although they curiously seemed to be avoiding the utterance of the word “Facebook.” It even uses @ replies to direct specific pieces of content towards people! At that, you can’t reply to Tweets, only read them, at least at launch.
Google Buzz is for sharing.
Tweets, pictures, videos, webpages — these are the lifeblood of Google Buzz. It will automatically pull images from shared videos, allow you to watch videos inline, and let you quickly flip through photos in a slick interface.
Google Buzz is not a firehose. In fact, it’s a little like Digg or Reddit.
Despite all of the content pouring in, Google Buzz will allow you to prioritize what shows up at the top via something called “just the good stuff.” This will be a function of who your friends are, and what you’ve historically liked, among other things. But it’s not a simple friends-first play: you can bury uninteresting buzzes by your friends (this means that unlike Facebook, Google Buzz thankfully has the equivalent of an “unlike” button). And interesting comments or content from people who aren’t in your network can actually show up in your feed, if enough of your friends have expressed interest in it. Upvoting, downvoting, Digging, burying, whatever you want to call it: expressions of interest by you and your network will help determine what you will see.
