Google Buzz is a social network and sharing product built by Google. Based within Google Profiles, Buzz offers a stream of status updates, pictures, links, and videos from your friends. You can “like” these items and you can comment on them. Updates from Flickr, Picasa, Google Reader, or Twitter can also be automatically imported into a Buzz stream. Buzz will recommend items you might like based on your friends’ activity.
Buzz Features include:

Hey Sacha, have you tried out Buzz? If yes, what was the experience like?
Damn those google guys...instead of perfecting and delivering the final version of google wave, they are delivering a new social page " we already have facebook and twitter for god's sake", anyway it looks nice and seems to be offering something nice.
@jorge: not yet but i will
Just to be clear, is this just supposed to be another social network, well, a social network that integrates a few other things with it? I'm not sure that I see the point, unless they want to rival facebook or other social networks.
I just tried Buzz~ I think it 's kind of a combination of Facebook and twitter~ maybe is a upgrade of google wave. but i don't think there would be a big amount ppl to use that ~~ XD
@cheng: i agree with you, unless they offer something that will make us say "whooooow" nobody will use it....
