When Is a Buzz a Noise Reducer?

By , About.com Guide   February 21, 2010

Follow me on:

Maybe when it's Google Buzz. I liked this post from Chris Penn about Google Buzz. I am using Buzz, and think it's going to be useful, but I'm not yet sure. However, some quotes from the post are related to what I've been writing about all of the noise on Twitter.

  • "We discovered that frankly, we didn't want the firehose of social media in our inboxes."
  • "We realized quickly, if we didn't already know, that most of our "friends" are in fact valueless robots spewing garbage at us all day."
  • "On services like Twitter and Facebook, we don't really notice because it's bite size garbage that passed by quickly."

Perhaps stronger words than I would have chosen, but the fact is that following hundreds in Twitter creates an endless stream of things that we never see, or ignore intentionally. Perhaps Google Buzz will bring about a very ordered and valuable inbox, but for now, there's still too much on Twitter that I want and can't get on Buzz.

Larry,

Thanks for the visit and comment/question. There are so many books, but I do have a tutorial, with instructions and spreadsheets for investment math here. It’s a great start, as each calculation is explained, and the spreadsheet allows filling in property numbers to get them calculated for you.

Jim
