Catch the Buzz on GMail

by Sujoy on February 9, 2010

So GMail has rolled out a brand new feature known as Google Buzz and it intends to integrate a whole bunch of features right into your inbox. Surprisingly enough, when I logged into GMail, I was greeted with the following page.

If you haven’t been invited yet, you can directly opt to try out Buzz by going to Google Buzz.

GMail has always been awesome with rolling out better and newer features and integrating them right into the inbox. First it was just email, and then came chat, video chat, and with Labs features enabled, we could do much more with our plain old GMail inbox.
GMail Buzz intends to take it to the next level with the integration of other Google services such as Reader, Picasa etc. as well as other social networking services such as Twitter, Flickr all in one place – your inbox. And it is indeed very simple to get started, as seen below I integrated my twitter account.

All this means just one thing; Google is trying to bank on its GMail services to get back into the social networking arena [after Orkut having lost the match to twitter/ facebook etc]. Sharing links, content etc is all going to be integrated in your inbox.

It is also available on your mobile phone. For more details visit this link [ Google Mobile Blog post: Introducing Buzz for Mobile ]

For more details watch the video below.

So, I am giving in to my laziness syndrome. I have been writing for my other blogs as well, and hence, not much time to write for Techkeyla. And I have found the perfect solution. Video podcast.

So here it is. Techkeyla’s first video podcast, about the Apple iPad. Kindly leave your comments.
