During this weekend’s Super Bowl, Google created a lot of buzz around their ad displaying the power of search. It was the first time the Internet search giant entered the multi-million dollar Super Bowl advertising fray. It seems to have paid off, too. A Google News search, no less, returns multiple hits which feature the ad as one of the top attention grabbers (next to the “Dont touch my mom, don’t touch my Doritos” ad). Then today, Google created more buzz by launching, the “Google Buzz” – a Gmail-integrated social networking tool. After the likes of MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter, Google is making a late entry into the game. According to report, Buzz will integrate with feeds such as Flickr , Twitter, etc. and pull all information into a centralized location (albeit, a folder in your Gmail inbox). The new feature hasn’t been pushed to my Gmail yet, so it’s too early to comment much further. Although, few of my contacts actively use a Gmail address, so I’m uncertain how widely this new feature will be used.
