The buzz on Google Buzz

Hey Gmail users: are you using Google Buzz? I’ve been ignoring the pop-up box that shows up when I log in, but this Mashable column is motivating me to take another look.

So what’s the big deal? Social media prophets are predicting that Google Buzz, which went live to most Gmail users on Feb. 10, will lure marketing dollars from Facebook and Twitter because its user base is more than 38 million (as of September 2009). And, Google reported that Buzz is generating about 160,000 posts and comments per hour.

Personally, I’m not yet convinced that I “need” another social network. Will you be joining the bandwagon?
