Sto usando Google Buzz e trovo che il giudizio di Steve Rubel rispecchi proprio la mia sensazione iniziale dopo qualche ora di smanettamento:
1) I can’t easily find my content within Gmail. I have to go to my profile page to find it
2) I can’t easily hide the items from my inbox. This requires a filtering hack that mere mortals do not know even exists
3) Noise, noise and more noise – there are no lists like in Twitter or a news feed in Facebook that tells you the "top stories" or even "Best of Day" feature that Friendfeed had. A way to organize social content? A productivity tool? Hardly
4) It slows down Gmail somewhat – what happened to Google’s mission to speed up the web?
5) Finally, it shows in some ways Google is losing their focus. They’re getting too big and therefore launch half-baked products that take them away from their core. They are feeling the heat from Facebook and Twitter instead of remaining true to their mission to organize the world’s information.
