    Angry Google Buzz

    I just got a message in my Gmail account that Google Buzz will die soon. This message went on to say I'll no longer be able to send things. What is Google Buzz, and how much difference will it make to a normal Gmail account? I googled (!) info about it, but it's vague (or over my head).

    Wasn't Buzz, along with Wave, the first experiments Google had with Online Social Networking? You must have signed up for an account or something...

    If I'm right, it shouldn't. If I not, which is likely, it still probably won't... unless Google Buzz is what is supplying your house with oxygen or something.

    Google Buzz was integrated in GMail, and is used to share links/images/bits'n'bobs with your friends in your contact list. You will no longer be able to do this. Also, it shouldn't affect GChat.

    Buzz being killed off is pretty much a good thing.

    The +1 feature on Google + is essentially a replacement for the stillborn Google Buzz.

    Ha! I just hit the "Disable Buzz" link in my email, and Gmail informed me that I didn't even have this Buzz bollocks anyway. Why put a "Disable Buzz" link in my email then, you tossers?!

    Just be glad they didn't put P.T.O at the end of the email.
