It looks like Buzz has real potential, but I think it's going to be a matter of wait and see six months from now.
Google buzz is definitely going to make its mark.. but for sure it will take some time. The good thing is it allows to share photos and youtube videos as well.
Lets wait and see how it changes the social net ecosystems.
