Twitter was one big domain where Google had been lagging. Already losing its users to Facebook, Google's Orkut needed something that might help it get a major push. Google, whose USP is its wide range of services under one ID - Whether its mail,blogging, or even Mobile Phone contacts. With this,Google tries to regain the 'invincible' tag.
Buzz's penetration in the internet happens to be quite high. When i logged into my Gmail, was asked whether to use Buzz or not. I decided to give it a try. It slowly directed to my Gmail inbox, which had a script working. The script stopped working,but to what i had seen by then, all could see was a field where i could write and update my status. The script was there to let me connect with people who had already started using the service. The service can be used integrated in Gmail, or seperately at buzz.google.com . Also it can be used on mobile(i'm yet to explore its confirmed details).
Google's USP may give people a good excuse to people to try out the new service. Micro-Blogging happens to be a big trend, and Google's Buzz may just be able to create the right waves for its new service.
What do you think. Would Google be able to hit it correctly this time? Feel free to pour in your comments.
