One Week With Google Buzz Now

For now I am about one week in Google Buzz and like some other people I don’t think that Google Buzz goes to overtake Twitter for now. Moreover I think Google Buzz will complement the social media world in a great maybe different way.

When you have accustomed that Google Buzz is making your Gmail account a little bit messy and learned to handle it than it can become a nice place to make new friends.

I hope Google will implement some administration features in the near future to make it an easier to filter and administer messages, etc…

And an old friend named SPAM appeared very quickly on Google Buzz. I have unfriend them and now I got more good buzzes into my account.

In my opinion Google Buzz is a nice tool, no Twitter replacement for now but we will see what the future brings.

I am personally very excited about it because it opens a new channel to make connections, spread information and I am curious what Google further steps are in social media?!

Use Google Buzz NOW And Promote Your Content!

These days thousands of discussions appear online about the use of Google Buzz for marketing purposes.

I have included Google Buzz on my page the same day it was made public and I use Google Buzz to include my content like tweets, Flickr photos and video for now. We will see which features will be added in the near future which open further opportunities to spread your content through the web.

For me it looks like that this, what we actually see is only the top of the ice berg and the 70% is still under water and not visible at the moment.

Google’s interest in social media will drive the development and evolution of Google Buzz. There is doubt!

An important fact is the inclusion of social status updates into Google search results and their launch of social search and not forget to mention the Google Buzz on phone which can help to get better found online and mobile. All Gmail accounts have been updated automatically and all android phones as well.

Nobody should underestimate Google’s desire to position in social media. Social media means high quality user data for marketing and this means a lot of revenue potential.

I think this is one key point which drives the future of Google Buzz and also empowers your benefit to position you self, your products and your services where our potential customers are, directly in front of them, with the help of Google, at no cost!

Under this circumstances mentioned above I think you should step into Google Buzz to claim you position.

It is simple to do this!

1. Go to your Gmail account and setup your Google Profile
2. Add your favourite sites, RSS feeds etc….
3. Install this Google Buzz Button on your WordPress blog (this one which you can see below) to get your content Buzzed.
4. Activate Google Buzz.
5. Invite your friends, step into a 2way conversation and build your follower ship.

Happy buzzing!
