Buzz makes it easy to share updates, videos , pictures and links.

It’s key features include -

Inbox Integration ( Integrates into gmail and sends email updates when notified in buzz)

Connect to sites you already use ( Social networks you already use can be integrated to buzz like your twitter posts, flickr photos , google reader etc)

Real Time Updates ( Real time updates no need to refresh comments come in instantly)

Good Stuff (Buzz recommends the good stuff and looks at the things you’ll enjoy and the things you won’t as well as things your friends are interested in)

Buzz will also integrate with other services besides gmail and reader , Google Maps will also play a key role in local communities and business advertising . Seeing whats Buzzing in your local city , see what people are talking about , what new events are happening and special business offers etc all posted via buzz and tagged via google maps. The possibilities of Buzz are huge , though this tool isn’t a direct competitor towards twitter and facebook it more aims to make the web easier and integrate your content in one easy to find place & may one day become a standard tool for all gmail users.

Buzz will also be making its way to mobile phones  like the nexus one & iPhone so that you can update on the go and view whats going on.
