Although there were no beta invites like google wave , buzz was made public just 2 days after it was surprisingly announced . It just appears to be another Twitter + Facebook clone as you can share status updates and reply with fellow contacts on Gmail account just like Twitter , only its aint made public , it was initially but now it have made change to policy right after many companies complained about privacy policy and about being hacker target . Also its possible to share links, photos and media with your friends. Just like Orkut, Facebook , Twitter , Myspace you have a timeline of updates from your friends and you can comment or Like it. As soon as you edit profile and select whether your profile should be made public or private you can even interlink Blog RSS, Twitter , picasa , and share google reader, Youtube , perhaps even facebook account could be linked up in future just like interlinking in google wave. Buzz!
