‘Google Buzz’ The whole world is buzzing about Google’s new social communication tool. To be part of it as iPhone owner the ‘Google Buzz’ has been optimized for the iPhone. Buzz was launched yesterday by Google and plans to challenge the might of Facebook and Twitter. I just tried that web app found it interesting. So what does it do for you? It helps you to share your location, your current state to friends and other Buzz users instantly. How can you access it? You can access Google Buzz by going to buzz.google.com straight from your iPhone mobile safari browser.
When the Buzz is accessed through a iPhone (or iPod Touch), it tags posts with the user’s current location. Depending on the user’s privacy settings, he or she can control the accuracy and details of what each of the other users can see — an exact location can be allowed, or it can be limited to identifying the city only. Users are only permitted to use their actual physical location derived from the device’s GPS for their Buzz posts; a Buzz cannot be located from an arbitrary point set by the user (the Google Latitude service permits users to set their location anywhere).The mobile version of Buzz integrates with Google Maps so users can see who is around them. Buzz posts made through Google Maps are public, and can be seen by anybody else using the software. In addition to text, mobile users’ posts may include an uploaded photo. Current platforms supported are limited to devices running Android 2.0+, iPhone/iPod Touch, Windows Mobile, and S60. Please be aware and read about the “privacy flaw” editorial by businessinsider
