Title: Google takes on Facebook and Twitter
Post by: Simon on February 09, 2010, 22:53

Google has taken the wraps off its latest social network known as Buzz.

The service - integrated directly with its e-mail service Gmail - allows users to post status updates, share content and read and comment on friends posts. The site pitches Google directly against rival networks such as Facebook, which has amassed nearly 400 million users since its launch in 2004. Buzz will try to capitalise on the number of regular Gmail users, which is currently around 170 million people.

they will have a long way to go to take over the others... however if they merge everything they have together then.. well that's scary.
