Googley things...

Google Buzz - gargh! How many different "social networks" are we supposed to be able to cope with?!

But on the bright side - in case there's other people as slow as I am to pick up on things - I tried using Google Calendar to remind me about something via my email, and it's just worked beautifully! And since I have googlemail open all the time, it might even turn out to be more useful than my mobile for that sort of thing - hmmn!

I hadn't heard of Google Buzz and had to "google it!" Seems like there are security problems with a couple of the features that have people up in arms.
Google calendar sounds useful. Actually google does have a few halfway decent offerings - I use their reader to consolidate RSS feeds that I follow, and it works really well.

Are you aware of the security/privacy issues around Buzz? Bit worrying...

urgh ... Yahoo have suddenly started something similiar and keep telling me loudly who I can catch up with and who can catch up with me ... I shout GO AWAY a lot but it doesn't seem to help :)

I love Google to bits, but there are days I could beat them round the back of the head with a rolled up newspaper.

Buzz is a right pain - I've turned it off completely, but I still show up as a follower on our business account. Grump.

Yeah, I'm circling this whole google buzz thing very warily - particularly with regard to all this 'automatic' linking up it likes to do. Gawd, I can barely find the time for LJ, nevermind any other form of social networking.
