Google Buzz, Support Growing [Recommended Posts]

I’ve been blogging less lately. I haven’t lost interest but I have been allocating my time differently. Among other things, I’ve been playing around with KIN 1 and KIN 2 (short review coming soon); I’ve been customizing the heck out of Ubuntu linux to make it look more like this video; I’ve been catching up on Google Reader which has been redlined at 1,000+ articles for weeks; oh, and I’m still playing on Google Buzz.

I wrote on May 17 that Google Buzz deserves a second chance. It looks like I’m in good company; now, some tech heavyweights have written similar posts.

• Yesterday, Robert Scoble wrote “Is it time to reconsider Google Buzz vs Facebook or Twitter?” It’s a great read and he’s an avid Buzzer.
• Pinging off of Scoble’s post yesterday, Matt Cutts wrote a post entitled, “Give Buzz another look.” Matt works for Google so you couldn’t expect dissent but I still think it says something about Buzz that he’s prominently featuring a Buzz endorsement on his personal blog.

If you haven’t been to Buzz lately, check it out. Simply load up Gmail and click Buzz in the left-hand pane. Do some searches for topics that interest you and begin following people. I’ve been fortunate to have grown my followers on my personal account to over 530 and I’m always welcoming new followers (http://www.google.com/profiles/jonathan.mallin). I also have a blog account with another 215 followers (http://www.google.com/profiles/techbottle).

P.S. I shipped my Blackberry Tour off to Australia to reward a loyal RTer for his generous efforts. #payingitforward
