Google Buzz - Social Networking within Gmail

         Google have added a new cool social feature - Google Buzz suggesting that it will help us organize social information and remain connected. This one is built right into Gmail unlike Google wave which had to be opened in another tab making it very accessible in the first place.

          Google Buzz was a trending topic the day it was launched , which is just another Social Media tool integrated right into your Gmail account. 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!

Here  is how you can use Google Buzz :

         When it is activated , it asks whether you have to automatically follow all your buddies connected on Gmail and other Google services or block some or all of em or cancel google buzz service . As Buzz integrates directly with your Gmail inbox, updates and comments appear along side your e-mails in real time possibly making it smooth one tab check for other social services when you get everything at same place.
Support for @ replies just like twitter which can send buzz to a specific user. It also supports Autocomplete and gives suggestions of the friends connected on Buzz to send reply.
Some other features are layering Google Maps with Buzz. You can also associate pictures with buzz within Google Maps. Posts can be geotagged, and the location-aware features really comes to life when you post from a mobile with GPS inside.
You can add Buzz this button to blog so that people can share your blog  .
Similarly now even it is available on your phone just like google voice , Google Buzz is much more than just a small screen version of the desktop experience. When viewed in aggregate, the posts about a particular location can paint an extremely rich picture of that place. Check out the Mobile Blog for more info about all of the ways to use Buzz on your phone, from a new mobile web app to a Buzz layer in Google Maps for mobile.

Google BUZZ for Mobile :

What more good thing is that its an open source and a hell lot of plug-ins will be available in the future ! and developer's can enjoy creating more such applications :)

How to delete FriendFeed Account


      Friendfeed is a great service recently acquired by faceboook which allows you to update status as well as check out feeds from all other social  feeds like facebook , yelp , amazon , twitter etc .You need to sign up for it by choosing username or just sign in using google account , facebook account or twitter account . Its very easy to delete account if you have signed by choosing username , rest three are very tricky and confusing
 Heres why ...
            During last month I had subscribed to the FriendFeed service using Twitter and was really bugged after seeing non stop tweets in friendfeed feeds , even i cant pause all tweets as i have more followers !
Adding to it more updates like facebook , feeds from other blogs which i couldnt check due to huge feeds from twitter itself , even if i remove twitter account then also i was having trouble as i had signed through twitter account and by default i was subscribed to all people i follow on twitter and if i unsubscribe , i unfollow em, really weird,
Then i decided to delete this account created via signing via twitter and then create another as usual by choosing username

To remove your account and all of the data associated with your feeds, please re-enter your password below. We would also appreciate it if you would leave a short note letting us know why you are deleting your account, though this is entirely optional.

but i wasn't able to delete , because i had signed up via twitter no password was given , that was problem i face and i mailed friendfeed about the problem and i got this reply from Ana .R .Yang

You can delete the account by going to https://friendfeed.com/account/login and signing in using the Twitter button you pressed to create the account.
Then, go to settings and add a password. Once you have a password, you can visit https://friendfeed.com/account/delete to delete your account.
If you want to create an account w/o giving your Twitter or Google credentials, you can do so here: https://friendfeed.com/account/create


Then I became aware of the possibility to enjoy friendfeed at last as now even if i have added twitter account , i cant see their flood tweets but i follow all of em :D , one more such site is Likaholix
I suggest you better sign up friendfeed by choosing username and then adding accounts , rather than signing in directly with twitter or google or facebook ,so as to browse many feeds as well as have updates  in all social sites ,Thanks to Ana R. Yang of FriendFeed Inc. for having emailed me in no time

Add this feed to receive more updates
Follow me on twitter and i will follow all of you back !
