Are you Buzzing?

Google Buzz - who's tried it? What's that...do I hear four "I have's"? Come on - try it. You'll like it!

It's like Facebook for people who actually know each other, either personally ore business-wise. It's for people who are actively in touch with one another. You can control the already-restricted environment of your email list, and restrict it even further. You can create groups. There is no email spam, because the Buzz conversations are placed in a convenient category listed right below your inbox. And, it has a pretty, colorful icon.

The best way in which it compares to Facebook is that it gives you the ability to keep track of conversations as time allows. The best way in which it doesn't compare to Facebook is that you don't have virtual smiles or pets disturbing your space. There are no quizzes or games - just pure communication. You can use it for both personal and professional work with no worries, if you make sure your privacy settings are set up.

If you haven't given Google Buzz a try, you should. It's like a personal bulletin board, a conference call, and a local pub all rolled into one. You can test it out by "buzzing" YoLadies - yo.ladies2009@gmail.com
