Introducing Google Buzz

My latest post on the Click Here Blog is an introduction to Google Buzz, the new social media platform Google launched this week. Here's an excerpt:

This week, Google introduced a new feature that represents its latest venture into social media, called Google Buzz. It’s essentially status updating directly through your Gmail account, and it’s Google’s attempt to embrace social media and the “real-time” web. It hasn’t rolled out to everyone one yet, but you might see it when you log into Gmail, or you can visit Google.com/buzz.

Here’s how it works…

Following People on Google Buzz

Log into your Gmail account, and you’ll now see a link on the left-hand side just below your inbox that says “Buzz.” Click on this link to get started. You’ll essentially see a very Twitter-like interface directly in Gmail that displays recent “activity” from people you follow. This “activity” is a mish-mash of activity from people directly posting into Google Buzz or activity on other Google-owned social platforms, like Picasa, YouTube and Google Reader.
