Google Introduces Potential Facebook Competitor in New Buzz

Financial World News Update by Equities Magazine

Google is extending its empire to include "Google Buzz," which would make it easier to socialize on the Google network. The program is set to compete with Facebook.

 

Google unveiled the new feature on Tuesday, describing elements like status updates and the capacity to read and comment on the updates posted by buddies, much like twitter.

 

Other additions have given Google users the capacity to share video, photos and links like traditional social networking sites.

 

Buzz is Google’s response to Facebook and it’s  400 million plus users who  post information that often can't be indexed by Google.
