So Google has introduced Google Buzz, which appears to be a sort of Facebooky Twitter, or a Twittery Facebook. Experts are calling it a "Facebook Killer", but I'm not so sure. See, I'm on Twitter, and on Facebook, and on Friendfeed, and on Buzz now, too. I mostly use it as a platform to evangelize the utter greatness of this blog which you, as my longterm readers, are already well aware of.
I know we're all in the content delivery business now, and you are your brand, and blah blah blah blah blah. But I just can't seem to find a focus these days. Everybody says blogs are supposed to be super focused, but I can't seem to either stop blogging, for one thing, or figure out what I want this to be about, for another thing.
I know I like reading the words and links of smart people, and there are loads and loads of them out there. But it seems like every idea has been done, every angle has been explored, every everything has been done better and faster and cheaper. I don't want to really write about my life because my life is even boring to me, and I'm the one living it! I can't seem to write full time about sports, or politics, or books, or anything-because I get sick of any topic after a while.
So I guess my message to you is thusly: I'm on Buzz, if you want to find me there. Feel free to hook up on any of those other services, too. So to speak. But until I start having strong feelings of one platform being superior to any other, my musings will continue to be reflections of the brilliance, wit, and sheer poetry you have become used to finding here.
Is it as badly organized as Gmail? I love Gmail's spam filtering, but it scrambles and jumbles emails in inboxes. A flaw that Yahoo (with more spam unfortunately) does not have.
ReplyDeleteI can't figure out what is up with Buzz. You subscribe to feeds, like with Friendfeed or Facebook. I don't see what the advantage is.
