Was Jason Calacanis right when he was announcing (very loudly) that Google Buzz is Facebook killer?

I would say if someone has followed @jason’s call (or others’) to join Google Buzz, don’t bother about whether Google Buzz will kill Facebook first. Do damage control before Google Buzz “kills� Your privacy, if it is not already killed.

Google Buzz is being attacked in many fronts for its lack of privacy (more about these later). I think it’s better Google Buzz doesn’t think of killing Facebook first. Patch things up and save itself from lawsuits first.

Google has since made changes to patch things up. gmailblog.blogspot.com/ In their own words from their blog: “We've heard your feedback loud and clear, and since we launched Google Buzz four days ago, we've been working around the clock to address the concerns you've raised. Today, we wanted to let you know about a number of changes we'll be making over the next few days based on all the feedback we've received.

http://gigaom.com/2010/02/16/google-we-screwed-up-with-buzz-stay-tuned/ One puzzling thing is Google services usually went through phases in Google Labs before launch. Wonder why it didn't this time. http://www.googlelabs.com/ I used to admire Google’s innovativeness and diligence.

These images are shattered now. The same goes the image of “do no evil�. A list of Google Buzz lawsuits or potential lawsuits: 1.

Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) filed a complaint to investigate on Google Buzz. http://epic.org/2010/02/epic-urges-federal-trade-commi.html The detailed complaint is available in the link. 2. Mason LLP filed a class action suit representing a Harvard Law student Eva bnick against Google Buzz http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/articles/13627/google-class-action-buzz.html http://www.hlrecord.org/news/harvard-law-student-brings-class-action-lawsuit-over-google-buzz-1.1165204 3.

Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada challenges Google Buzz over privacy concerns http://www.priv.gc.ca/media/nr-c/2010/nr-c_100217_e.cfm I wonder whether there will be more copycat lawsuits against Google Buzz all over the world. It may give cash to countries/organizations/peoples that are cash tight.

No. Most people won't leave facebook for buzz. Too many of their friends and family are there and won't leave because the don't want too change, so to them there is no point.

Twitter on the other hand might be in trouble.

Ideas that spread , win. If Google buzz doesn't spread will suicide...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
