Is Google just going all Twittery (http://gizmodo.com/5466938/gmail-is-the-new-twitfaceplurk), or are they going to surprise us?
1:15: Google's Bradley Horowitz is on stage, and he's talking in broad terms about "sharing", and things like that! Sounds like Twitter, in the context of rumors. WIthout the rumors, it sounds a little like nothing.
1:19: Ah! There it is. "Google Buzz." It's built into Gmail, and Google's Todd Jackson is jumping on stage to talk about it.
1:21: Ok, this is what the WSJ was talking about: It's a system of "social updates" that leverages your Google contacts. It can auto-follow, sort of like how Gmail automatically adds contacts. You can publish private or public updates.
1:25: Here's what it looks like: http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2010/02/500x_screencap_2010-02-09_at_1.25.09_pm_01.jpg (http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2010/02/screencap_2010-02-09_at_1.25.09_pm_01.jpg)It's a bit like Twitter, but there doesn't seem to be any kind of character limit. And you can share anything, like photos and video.
