Buzz — Google’s entry into the real-time social web — is becoming increasingly more popular. Because it was launched by an Internet giant and initially incorporated directly into Gmail by default (whether a good idea or not), the service was able to instantly compete with other, more well-established competitors like Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace in the crowded social networking arena.
What’s more, with Google’s history of supporting web developers through free and public application programming interfaces (APIs), the opportunity to create web-based tools is abundant.
