ehhh. beat me to it.

facebook is supposed to be trying to build in a webmail service to compete with gmail.

I go there, and it says Try in Gmail, and I click it, and it takes me to my gmail that looks no different than before.

At the top of the page, you will notice: "We're still rolling out Buzz to everyone, so if you don't see it in your Gmail account yet, check back soon."

right now, all it has the the equivalent of your status, and a basic wall in that you can post a picture or text

Sweet jesus! Why do you have 1700 unread emails? So far this looking more interesting than Wave, I look forward to trying it.

Yeah my Gmail looks nothing like FoBot's. Course my gmail account is my spam email.

Kind of cool on the maps app on the Droid. People's buzzes show up as little thought bubbles on the map.

Yea I can see Buzz being more popular among the smart phone users just because everything is geotagged and displays on the map. There are already a bunch of buzzes (?) around town commenting on different stores etc.

Surprised there hasn't been more

*puts on sunglasses*

...buzz... about it!

 

[rudeguy]

We hijacked the Facebook thread into a buzz thread last night. Check it out in Google maps.

what crap

 

[QueBert]

I hope this retarded Buzz crap is optional, I don't no retarded social networking shit to show up in my Gmail. If Google integrates this with Gmail I'm out the door.

 

[SunnyD]

So this is like Facebook, for Google, right?

You can hide it just like all the other stupid shit they stuffed into Gmail. It's so stupid, anyone with a Gmail account who ever sent me an email is on my follow list by default. I got all these people from Craigslist postings, etc following me. WTF?

 

[Fritzo]

I liked this the first time it was done, when they called it Facebook.

 

[ElFenix]

is this a subset of wave?

 

[minendo]

Just logged in to discover that I have Buzz.
