• Why Google Pushed Buzz Out The Door Before It Was Ready

Why Google Pushed Buzz Out The Door Before It Was Ready

When Google Buzz launched three weeks ago, the product wasn’t ready. There were basic privacy issues that still needed to be hammered out (and were quickly addressed by Google), but beyond that Google Buzz simply did not work smoothly enough to force feed it to 175 million Gmail users without any warning. ( MG covered some of the usability issues last week). So why was Google Buzz pushed out the door too soon? I have three interrelated theories: Google still wants to buy Twitter, and putting Buzz into Gmail might be enough of a threat to bring Twitter back to the table .  Buzz did not launch in some Google Labs backwater.  It is placed front and center in Gmail.  Buzz is Google’s strongest effort yet to enter the stream .  If Buzz can gain traction it would certainly help Google’s negotiating position with Twitter. Independent of any pressure it may place on Twitter, Google needs to have its own realtime micro-messaging communications system.  The micro-message bus is just a more efficient way to communicate than email for many types of messages so it makes sense to add it as a layer to Gmail: broadcast your public messages via Buzz, and keep private ones on email or chat, all from the same place. The other reason Google needed to establish its own social stream pronto is that links passed through social sharing are beginning to rival search as a primary driver of traffic for many sites.  Part of Google’s prowess stems from the fact that it is the largest referrer of traffic to many other Websites. It doesn’t want to lose that status to social sharing streams such as Facebook or Twitter.  Already, Buzz is helping to  boost sharing through Google Reader .  While Google doesn’t benefit directly from that traffic (yet), simply knowing what links people are sharing and clicking on is valuable data which can help it improve its search results. Google needed to get into this game as fast as it could, even if there were bumps along the way.  The question now is whether Buzz can keep building.

Lindsay Lohan Finally Kisses A Bitch Who Looks Her Own Age

LiLo is not kissing on Roberto Cavalli because she loves the feel of charbroiled flesh against her collage-stuffed worm lips. LiLo is trying to distract Roberto while her hand snatches his wallet. And since sticky fingers (in more ways than one) LiLo is such a pro, bitch also managed to get her hands between Roberto's ass crack and pull a diamond stud off of his ass lips without him noticing. Who ever said the ho doesn't have talents? But seriously now, LiLo should pose next to Roberto more often, because his sun-dried tomato complexion makes her skin look somewhat clean. Usually, I have take several moist towelettes to my monitor after going through pictures of LiLo. And I only had to do that once (see the last picture) this time! Here's more of the hardest working non-worker in the business partying it up with Robert Cavalli in Milan over the weekend.
