Google Buzz: Because we’re all bloggers now

Here’s a video put out by Google today, explaining how they plan to compete with Facebook. The new toy is called Google Buzz, and it builds on the communication networking models of sites like Twitter and Facebook.

Sharing, starting conversations, aggregating content and photographs, and reaching out to strangers, it all sounds eerily familiar. In other words, Buzz is poised to turn millions of people into bloggers. Just one more decentralizing step in the flow of information.

    About Me

    I've published two novels: The Secrets of the Camera Obscura (Chronicle Books), and The Third Eye (Nan A. Talese/Doubleday). I'm currently working as a journalist for AOL's Sphere. For the past three years I also spouted political opinion for AOL's Political Machine, which I also helped edit. My non-fiction has appeared in places like Men's Vogue, The Wall Street Journal Magazine, USA Today, Newsday, Travel + Leisure, GQ (Spain), and Vanity Fair (Italy). I've dabbled with short stories, publishing in Nerve and a few small journals.

    The other half of my split personality finds me playing a variety of instruments for a variety of bands, and writing songs for film soundtracks.
