Google Buzz - Thumbs down

I agree with a lot of Priya's comments in this post. Mainly the amount of time that I could spend doing more productive stuff.

So I decided to go ahead and delete my Buzz account as described in this post at life hacker. (Updated to remove the link since it is no longer available)

The worst part of this is that it deleted all the people who I used to follow in Google Reader. Sucks big time.

Google Buzz

Why is it that Google Buzz seems like Google Wave in a new Avatar? Feels like after all the hype about wave, not too many people ended up using it. Buzz might be an attempt to get people more familiar with all the features of Google Wave.

Haven't seen it yet?
