Here’s another great way to have your phone EAT ITS OWN BATTERY – Google Buzz. Designed to tag your emails via location and inform your friends of your doings and whereabouts, Google Buzz for Mobile seems to be Google having a go at taking on Twitter – with Gmail integration for ease of use. Or, if you’re an advanced user, you can have it as a Layer on Google Maps.
Now over to our on-the-spot reporter Jeff Hungerford for the latest traffic news from San Francisco:
We suspect within a few days Google Buzz will be full of HIPSTERS bragging about what sort of sushi they’re eating, then what bar they’re having their post-sushi cocktails in, then it’ll gradually fade into obscurity.
Sorry, Google, it’s very clever and everything, but not everyone lives in San Francisco or New York and likes being connected to the HIVE BRAIN every waking second of the day. We’ll pass for now, although we do reserve the right to jump enthusiastically onboard in 18 months time if it does take off.
