Author’s Notes
- I know I used the term best a lot. The term “best” is in the eye of the beholder. I’m beholding though, so if you disagree, well, that’s what the friendly commenting area is for, isn’t it?
- I haven’t decided if I’m going to update this. I’m way more interested in what Google Buzz has made possible, rather than about Google Buzz itself. If I do, I’ll link to a Google Doc from this page with my changes.
- No need to ask if you want to quote this baby, or copy the entire thing verbatim, as long as you link back. That’s with a clickable link, you two sneaky folks in the back.
- Where it makes sense, I have linked the author’s name to their Buzz page, and discussions to the individual buzz. In case you didn’t catch that.
- rawr. (It’s 4 a.m. and I’ve been working on this for 6 hours. I can roar if I want to, pal.)
- *edit* Here’s the Buzz link for this article, if you have a lengthy contribution. And my official Google Buzz profile.
