FTC is now involved http://short.to/17kua Mike - I think the recruiting angle will follow (as usual) as people start filling out their Google profiles/buzz info with more details then the ability to target can not only be by geography but occupation, industry, key word, etc. I think Google has a lot on their hands right now figuring out how to get out from under the bad press re: privacy issues with buzz. Time will tell... Ang - In 2 sentences or less: Google Wave provides a "platform" to share documents/projects etc. that multiple people can access/edit/alter/communicate Wave is 'live' with edits, etc. Buzz is Google's method for sharing content/likes/dislikes/links/videos etc. Lots of news bubbling up over Buzz – most of it not good.

The difference here is that Gmail is used by 176 million folks...so that is really the only interesting thing. But really, do people need yet another way to share photos, status updates, etc? I already have status updates flowing between Twitter/LinkedIn and Facebook. Buzz should just grab updates from those sites. A real issue will be how open they make the API. Twitter exists because they made the most open API possible and allowed 3rd party developers to write tons of apps on top of it. Facebook has done the same...although they aren't as open and flexible as Twitter. If Google doesn't allow ways to post/access Buzz via an API...it's a non-starter. From my perspective, I'm trying to figure out the recruitment angle...how can recruiters potentially tap into this for reaching those hard-to find candidates...and right now, I don't quite see anything special.
