No! - Kenton

What are your thoughts on Google Buzz? - Kol Tregaskes

I wish it was a standalone app and I wish I could pull in regular RSS feeds. As it is, it looks like I'd have to push everything to Reader and then Share it all from there. Unless I'm missing something. - Kenton

Note, I've not got Buzz myself yet, still waiting, zzzzz. - Kol Tregaskes

Odd Kol, because it let me follow you. Maybe I'm just following your Google profile at this point. - Kenton

http://nooooooooooooooo.com/ - AJ Batac :)

It's the best of the rest so far in my opinion, based on the way I like to use FF, but nothing's come close enough to actually replace FriendFeed. My guess is that Buzz interest will fade quickly and it'll be used by a few people much like GReader is used by relatively few. - Mark H

I was gonna ask this. - LouCypher

Kenton, you can sort of import feeds. http://code.google.com/intl... - Vezquex

Kenton, really? Oh well, not sure. My Gmail is plain old Gmail atm. - Kol Tregaskes

Let you know when I get it - although I'll have to start all over again with "buzz" when it shows up. - Dan owns Comicsforge.com

Kenton, I think it lets you automatically follow everyone in your chat buddy list and email address book, like in Google Wave. - LouCypher

Bumping. - Kol Tregaskes

No, they say FF is noisy, not compared to G BUzz: a fuck'n jet engine! - The Real sofarsoShawn

No buzz yet... - Wang Yip

You can't adequately hide content, it needs filtering evene more desperately than FF - The Real sofarsoShawn

I think it COULD BE eventually, but it isn't yet. Not enough filtering control, not enough imported services, inadequate list support (contact groups appear to be used only to control privacy of stuff you post, not filter stream of what you see). But for straight up conversation, it fills the bill as well as anything else so far, and people are using it. So far. - Jandy

Yeah exactly, and your content is hard to find in Gmail, I have to keep going back to my profile, the search is awful! But it does have potential, there is quite a "Buzz" about it hahahahah, pun intended - The Real sofarsoShawn

As @Jandy and @sofarsoShawn pointed out it lacks Friendfeed's beautiful 'hide' function, it also lacks public Groups (aka Rooms), check out my post on it: http://j.mp/b4WIM4 - Mitchell McKenna

Buzz needs groups/rooms like we have in FriendFeed - it just needs to be FF doesn't really, really? :-) - Kol Tregaskes

#BuzzFail - Joe The Sausage

I'm too lazy to start over. - The Real sofarsoShawn

Start over? In Buzz you mean? - Kol Tregaskes

yeah, can you do it for me Kol? I'll send a Gmail invite your way.... - The Real sofarsoShawn

Invite to what, Shawn? Buzz doesn't need an invite, everyone will everyone get access. - Kol Tregaskes

I totally don't get it. Then again, I'm the type of person who needs these things spelled out to her. It took me awhile to "get" FF and use it to my advantage. I don't like that the interface is on my email page - it makes it all too noisy. - Lis

Lis, yeah I'd like to see it as a separate entity. - Kol Tregaskes

FriendFeedForever - Steve Cleary

in time, perhaps. When the API comes out, we won't be stuck with Google's interface, which isn't exactly the best. - Vezquex
