Thank you for articulating what l have being staying since the dreaded ‘Buzz’ reared its ugly head. As a great fan of simplicity of gmail and limitation Twitter, l do not want a combination of the two, and l certainly do not want others to read what l am reading, if l want to share then, l will use twitter; Buzz is gmail /Twitter marriage made in hell. Logan – yes l believe the ‘oh it’s new, so a thing must have, regardless’ over at Mashable are the only ones l know that are using and extolling the virtues Buzz, the rest of the world seems somewhat disinterested. Excellent post.

"Nut jelly" perfectly describes what Buzz is! By combining email, Twitter, etc, it's somehow the worst of all those worlds instead of the best. Does anybody <i>love</i> Buzz? I don't know these people. I'd be fascinated to know why, if they do. I love it. “Nut jelly” perfectly describes what Buzz is!

Your point about varied context is dead on, I take pride in being able to differentiate and compartmentalize. It actually increases not just the utility, but the joy, of using all the great services the social web has to offer. Part of what made Google so great in the first place was its simplicity. Like a lot of people, I chose Gmail because, unlike Yahoo or AOL, I wasn't bombarded with AP news story feeds, reality show results, a ton of advertising, and all sorts of corporate noise. So why would I be interested in being inundated by social noise in that very same environment that I wanted to be clean in the first place? Good post.
