Google Buzz Is Brilliant

Yesterday, we published Jason Calacanis's first reaction to Google Buzz, which was that Facebook is toast.  Below, in a note to his email list, Jason puts some meat on that thesis.  You can sign up for Jason's excellent email here >
 
My 30 second review of Google Buzz:

1. Google Buzz 1.0 is better than Facebook after six or seven years.

2. Facebook's history is one filled with stealing other people's innovations and doing them better (i.e. Zuckerberg has stolen every idea Evan Williams and the Twitter team have released). How ironic now that Google has out "Facebooked" Facebook.

3. Google has an excellent privacy record and Facebook is a disaster. Most folks do not trust Zuckerberg and Facebook any more because of their privacy record (filled with lawsuits) and because they steal every good idea they see (i.e. Twitter's innovations and FourSquare's checking in).


4. Google Buzz auto generates your network--this is MUCH better process than Facebook's.

5. Google Buzz is way faster than the sluggish Facebook--this is a HUGE advantage.

6. Google Buzz puts relies and updates into your GMAIL as threads--this is BRILLIANT and a HUGE advantage.

Facebook is going to see their traffic get cut in half by Google Buzz.

This really is game over for Facebook because you know Microsoft and Aol are going to copy Google Buzz as quick as they can. In fact, Aol would have a HUGE renaissance if they simply knocked off Google Buzz's exact feature set. You would than have a reason to keep your @aol email address.

This could actually derail the Facebook IPO. It's that serious. Facebook usage is going to plummet in the next year or two because of this. There really is no reason for non-game playing people who use GMAIL to log into Facebook.

If Google Ads social gaming to Google Buzz Facebook is 2012's Pointcast.

Samsung Galaxy: Another Android Blasts Off

  IT'S getting harder and harder to keep up with all the latest Android mobile phone launches. They are like buses. You wait ages for one, and then about six come along at once. Hot on the heels of the Sony Ericsson X10, LG's first in the GW620, HTC and its Legend and Desire plus Samsung's own Galaxy Portal now comes this beauty. Again it's a Samsung. Again it's a Galaxy but this is codenamed the S and we've no idea why. It's hardly catchy.

Generasi Muda Wajib Tahu! Museum Tsunami Aceh Jadi Pusat Belajar Mitigasi

MUSEUM Tsunami Aceh kembali jadi sorotan. Kali ini, Wakil Menteri Kependudukan dan Pembangunan Keluarga ( Wamen Dukbangga ) atau Wakil Kepala BKKBN , Ratu Ayu Isyana Bagoes Oka , berkunjung langsung untuk melihat bagaimana museum kebanggaan masyarakat Aceh ini terus hidup sebagai pusat edukasi kebencanaan, Kamis, 9 Oktober 2025.  Didampingi Ketua TP PKK Aceh Marlina Usman, kunjungan ini bukan sekadar seremoni. Isyana menegaskan bahwa museum ini punya peran strategis: bukan hanya monumen peringatan tsunami 2004 , tapi juga ruang belajar generasi muda tentang kesiapsiagaan bencana dan ketangguhan keluarga. “Museum ini jadi pengingat dahsyatnya tsunami 2004, sekaligus tempat belajar bagi generasi yang saat itu belum lahir.
