Yeah got it back.

Dunno if thats a good thing. My productivity shot through the roof for 3 weeks and will now return to a crawl.

Edit: hmmmmmm. Am I going insane??

Almost looks like a message board with tweeting and status updates.

In other words: gross.

To be honest, its getting panned - a lot.
Its more of the same - except that it don't even reach that scale apparently.
Its being reviewed as not even a useful app at all in its present state with little or no functions that could be considered useful or new.

One more piece of crap then to give a miss to.

Don't press the big flashy button.

Press the "I dont want this" button.

Google Buzz - I think I bought some of that from one of them head shops I heard advertised on Joe Duffy.

Indeed there was a Boards representative on the 6:1 commenting on it

His comments?? 'It's more of the same' enough said

Yes, it's a google twitter and I don't think it's leaving us any time soon.

Aaa the irony.
Report this tripe as it appears in your gmails as "spam" to Google.
They might soon get the message.

Hotmail and Yahoo have something similar; it's like getting social network with your mail....

Like facebook isn't enough :rolleyes:

I don't like the google look at all anymore.. Buzz and Wave just look like piss.

People complain about facebook but once you hide all the bad stuff, it works just grand. Buzz isn't gonna work at all..

Interesting username for that sort of opinion......
It will catch on, but just not straight away. Just like Gmail, Google apps etc....

I logged in to Gmail yesterday and it asked did I want to use Google buzz.

I said no. Job done.

sorrywhat

Yeah, I saw this last night when I logged into Gmail.

I wont be using it. Just another website that will need to be checked daily and my work productivity doesnt need that!

pickarooney

Just press the button at the bottom of the page and turn it off. Jeez.

<monotone> The future is good. Google is good. Google is the future. Everything Google does is good.........The Google is Future, The Fugle, The Gooture.....etc </monotone>

Yeah, saw it on my Greader first of all. Loadsa pop ups going "this person is now following you". WTFF Google. Great! Then logged in to gmail and I'm a sucker for trying anything new (if you want to be smart you could find and post the first reply of a "was gay then but isn't now" reply here). So yeah there I was minding my own business when this bloody great big bengal tiger....No wrong story.

Google Buzz. Sorry to see youg go, we hardly knew ya! Also Wave, does anyone use that?

humanji

How come some people aren't getting asked if they want to use it? I logged into Gmail yesterday and saw a new option under my Inbox. I went into it and got no pop-ups or requests to activate or anything like that. I had to try and figure out how to block it myself and I still don't know if I succeeded.

I think everyone should go onto Googles search engine and repeatedly search for "Google buzz is sh*te!" and make that the top search query.

dr.bollocko

Yeah, Scroll to the bottom of the gmail page and get rid of it.
Cos it's a load of toss.

baalthor

Presumably they're losing users to Facebook and Twitter. Since I started using FB I rarely log in to gmail.

No. F*ck it. I can't be arsed.

Your post is a bit weird, you're making fun of the (wrong) idea that a lot of people support Google no matter what they do. Google Buzz proves that that's just not true, considering it has gotten terrible reviews from pretty much everyone.

Google Wave is still in development, and is only available on a preview/testing basis to those who have requested an invitation and been granted one. I've tried it out, it's pretty cool but just not useful to me. I'm confident many businesses would find good use for it... but I'm not sure if they'd pay for it (I believe Wave will not be free).

Buzz turned off

Buzz label hidden

Phew!
I'm glad that's over

AnonoBoy

Bad buzz man. Bad buzz.



(can't believe nobody posted that already)

Prof.Badass

Google are ****. I wish they didn't have such control over the web. Definitely not gonna join this.

Yes, It's pretty useful if you're trying to organise something more substantial than a piss up with people who aren't all in the same place.

Which means it's use is limited and it's not for everyone, but then again so is Google scholar and I don't hear people bitching about that.

ScumLord

All hail google. Google are easily my favorite corporation. They are creating technology for a new world and I'm all for it and they don't control the internet they just provide the best services.

chillin_penguin

No one uses wave and no one will use Buzz

If they don't do it yet, it's on their to-do list.
