Google Buzz arrived today, giving existing social websites like twitter and Facebook some challenges. Not sure if the twitter users will convert to Buzz, but everybody not on twitter will be Google’s target. If people use gmail, gtalk, YouTube and Picasa… they will like to share their stuff with their friends. I think this will be more a challenge for Facebook than twitter… as Buzz with its basic features is more a share with your friends, than a social – share with everybody site than twitter. It will be a challenge for Facebook from day one, but a bigger challenge for twitter the day we use Buzz as our first place to share our content, because buzz is available within the tools we publish our content.
Good news for everybody is the focus from the search giant to make this open source. This enables developers to integrate Buzz into everything. I think this will be the wave that Google hoped Wave would be – but didn’t.
