Thoughts on Google Buzz?

[GGB_Angel]

Last year I participated in a mainstream marketing webinar where one of the panelists was extolling the virtues of Google Buzz and how she thought it was going to be bigger than Twitter. I was skeptical at the time, and now almost a year later I don't see Google Buzz even coming close to being a viable competitor for Twitter (in terms of social media marketing). Any thoughts?

did this have something to do with google wave?

No. Google Buzz is Google's foray into the social media/microblogging market.

Guess it never became "bigger than twitter" LOL!!!
