Last week, Google started rolling out a new feature to Gmail users…Google Buzz. For now, those using Google Apps to manage their domain’s email miss out on Buzz, but Google have promised that they will be enabled in due course. Buzz is Google’s first serious entry into the social networking space, aimed squarely at the likes of Facebook and Twitter. Whilst Google have long been expected to expand into this area, Buzz ended up sneaking in under the radar somewhat, perhaps because Google didn’t want another high-profile damp squib on their hands (remember Wave)? But you can be sure that Google is serious about Buzz, and sees it as a core part of it’s future strategy.
