Google Announces Google Buzz Social Networking Tool

At a live press event at its Mountain View, CA headquarters on the morning of February 9, 2010, Google announced its latest foray into Social Media - Google Buzz. Bradley Horowitz, Google's VP of Product Marketing opened the event by describing Google Buzz as "a Google approach to sharing." Google Buzz incorporates many features of popular social media sites like status updates (Twitter, Facebook), location-based updates (Foursquare, Yelp), and de facto ratings for updates via "likes" and comments (Digg, Facebook).
