All I'm saying is that I can't understand how anyone who uses Twitter regularly can claim to be bored with Buzz in an intellectually honest way.

It's the same criticism people have had with wave really "I log in, nothing much is happening, it's boring" Wouldn't facebook be pretty much the same if all your friends weren't posting?

Fair enough, but considering Buzz has only rolled out to a small portion of gmail users, it's a premature in the extreme (hence "intellectually dishonest") to claim to be bored with it.

I have no idea... do you?

I use google-talk within gmail on a regular basis. All of our documents are in google docs. My calendar (both social and work) is a google calendar.

While I'm not terribly interested in buzz, I'm not about to write it off simply because I'm not interested.

The articles assertion that it's doomed by its API is just ludicrous. Twitters API is rather simple and plugging in yet another social network API hardly seems like a big project at this point. They're all pretty well abstracted out at this point.

What indication? Are usage metrics on those features public knowledge or something?
