Why I Love Google Buzz

Google Buzz has captured my attention like no other social network before it. Since I’m always talking about it with folks, and trying to explain why it’s cool, I figured why not capture those thoughts here, for those who are curious? While Buzz isn’t all that novel, and has a lot...
