Google has just unveiled its latest attempt to become more relevant in the social media space—Google Buzz. The product is integrated within Gmail and will be rolled out gradually to all of the webmail service’s users over the next few days.

While this development is still unfolding, you can check out Google Buzz’s two-minute demo of Buzz in action both online and via mobile.

What are your initial reactions? Another soon-to-be-forgotten Google product like Wave, or a Facebook/Twitter killer?

nothing will kill facebook or twitter anytime soon, but this looks pretty interesting. Smart move to just automatically integrate it into Gmail so it starts off with a huge and fairly dedicated audience. Unlike Wave it's kind of obvious what it's 'for'... I think this one might just have legs.

I don't use Google mail or have enough friends on Google mail to make it worth my time.

I agree with Catherine. NOTHING will ever "Kill" Facebook or Twitter, so , please, stop looking for that to happen. Why not instead concentrate of taking whats best of whats currently available, and improve it? I'm not interested in seeing who dies and who lives, I'm interesting in great technology. Period.

This looks cool! At least to me it looks more interesting than Google Wave. And by already using the gmail contacts, plus "its all ready to go", I do think the impact of this will be much bigger than Wave.

Just my 2 cents from paradise! (Cancun!)

Google's Buzz won't sting twitter or facebook. They've seized an opportunity to make email more social, open and fun.

Buzz on the google maps application is awesome. It's so easy to find interesting things going on around the world, it may actually be the most useful and most scary geolocation app yet.

I think Buzz vs Twitter vs Facebook is not an all or nothing deal. Some people will prefer Buzz; some will prefer FB; others Twitter. You go where your friends are.

Most of us go to different neighborhoods to visit our friends; they don't all live next door to each other.

I agree with Guy that the mobile app is going to make all the difference.
