Today Google has updated Gmail with Google Buzz. Google Buzz is now built into Gmail and Google maps giving the you the option of beginning conversations about the things you find interesting. Share updates, photos, videos, and more.
"There's obviously value with social networking services. It is a phenomenon that's real. But increasingly, it's becoming harder to make sense and find the signal in the noise. This is becoming a large scale problem, a relevance problem. It’s like when we launched Gmail. Today, we're launching Google Buzz, a Google approach to sharing."- Bradley Horowitz Director of product management @Google
