I got it. I read about it. I tried it; a message was sent.
I have no idea what it is. And most of all, why would I need it.

The media are comparing it to Facebook. So, I'd guess, it's a little like that.

I'm ok with that; Everything must be free, legal, and of the highest quality. Go ahead and stalk me, google. I'm not that interesting to watch.

I doubt they're Google. They seem to be human-created and then scripted to run on autopilot from there on out... Since Google Buzz went live I've had a 3 automatons \"follow\" me.

02.18.10

By Mark Hachman

Law firms in San Francisco and Washington, D.C., Wednesday filed a class-action complaint in San Jose, Calif., federal court against Google, and its Buzz technology, on behalf of Eva Hibnick, a 24-year-old Harvard Law School student.

The suit, reported by ABC News, is the first reported suit filed against Google about Buzz, which unexpectedly exposed relationships users had with others when Google turned on the technology. Google has since offered two methods to turn off Buzz.

"I feel like they did something wrong," said Hibnick, an active Gmail user and second-year law student, as quoted by ABC News. "They opted me into this social network and I didn't want it."

Hibnick said that she is not seeking a large cash payout. "What we'd like to see as result is a commitment from Google that they're not going to do this again the next time they launch a product," said Gary Mason, of Washington D.C..'s Mason Law Firm LLP, as quoted by ABC News.
