You didn't mention explicitly in the This Week in Google episode yet you provided a clear description for it. Given the fact that the best-known description of the phatic function came from Malinowski and you have been providing nice insight into sociological dimensions of Buzz with Jyri, it sounds like the time is right for a thoughtful discussion of the truly social aspects of social media.<br />One can hope, can't one?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3200930.post-68291993508024134212010-02-15T06:41:44.073-08:002010-02-15T06:41:44.073-08:00Buzz just seams to be doing the same that friendfe...Buzz just seams to be doing the same that friendfeed has been doing for some time. I don't think it is like email, just presented in a similar fashion to the main gmail interface. <br />What it does do is try to gather some of the larger spread of the web that your friends may be sharing on into one location. Allowing a photo on flickr to spark a conversation that you can follow rather than getting lost on that one site.<br /><br />If you find that a conversation is rising to the top that you are not interested in then you can hide it but in general if a new conversation is starting about a post that you skipped over earlier then you will probably be interested in it and it should be at the top.choffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00073824706082145291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3200930.post-47756794754073708632010-02-15T00:01:41.000-08:002010-02-15T00:01:41.000-08:00Totally agreed about The issue with Google Reader ...Totally agreed about The issue with Google Reader and shared item duplicity.

Suddenly new people are looking to follow you and it's a mishmash of repeated posts with new replies, new shares in gReader from people you wanted to follow in Buzz but not in the RSS client and a Buzz feed that's full of stuff you've already seen mixed with stuff that's Buzz-only.<br /><br />I really hope that once they finish fixing the privacy problems that they go back and do another pass on the usability.Tim!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17833620395939107161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3200930.post-42043276557082552282010-02-13T17:38:54.048-08:002010-02-13T17:38:54.048-08:00good post kevin. tag it sxd and it should appear i...good post kevin. tag it sxd and it should appear in the sxdsalon.org blog.adrian chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02004985533720113801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3200930.post-56977426564945592742010-02-13T15:48:11.288-08:002010-02-13T15:48:11.288-08:00The features of Buzz are all available elsewhere, ...The features of Buzz are all available elsewhere, but Google seems to have found an ease of use that will allow many who aren't yet active on social media an easy entreAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597130158516293939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3200930.post-56253264209689848352010-02-13T13:56:31.370-08:002010-02-13T13:56:31.370-08:00I had the same reaction to comments which move the...I had the same reaction to comments which move the entire thread back to the top disrupting the chronological feel.<br /><br />I think it may make sense for Buzz to promote replies (comments) to be treated more like posts with the proper profile picture on the left and potentially even only by people you follow.<br /><br />Makes it easier to skim like TwitterMonicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15315069813623115222noreply@blogger.com
