Hope it doesn't end up feeling like another task!

But that's what prevented me from joining Twitter. I say this begrudgingly... it's kind of fun to use! Just a little domineering in the social media space... @Alex - I didn't like it at first. At all. But I know myself well enough by now that I always react to Google's changes like that at first. Hence me exploring it fully as I did here. It's not perfect. I think we're a long way off a perfect social media tool/platform/whatever-they're-called. There is an option to turn it off though! In the footer of Gmail. Although - I suppose that's not going to stop the emails... d'oh! @Mike - Agreed - that 'other' side of Google is a daunting one and one we really should not forget about. They have a massive knowledge base, massive reach... and therefore a massive budget, as they've been demonstrating with their offline marketing campaigns in the last few months. I do wish I could keep some things separate though, that's all I wish for in social networks. It's usually too much to ask though!! @Bob – You’re right, I’m still not entirely sure what it’s for.

As a whole Google and their various web properties and features make my life 1,000 times easier most days. But at the same time there is that scary big bad corporation knowing too much about me feel to all of it. For now I'll just enjoy the fact that Google will for the most part let me connect nearly everything I do online and make me just slightly more efficient. :) Sadly they still haven't updated me to use Buzz yet, but this post gave me a great primer. I'll have to play with it more once it's live on my account. Great post I’m always so torn when it comes to Google and what they know about people.

There isn't a central Settings page to really customise it. Who said I wanted updated buzzes (is that right, I'm sure someone will think of an ironic word to call it soon) to come into my Gmail inbox as an email? Who said I wanted it pushed onto my Blackberry? Not me. Is there an option to turn this off - only if you're a nosey techie! Once it's been developed more I think it'll be great, but at the moment I'm not buying it. In the day I’ve been messing around with it, I don’t like it.

I think I need to go and do so now - looks rather interesting. Maybe once I've had a play, I'll understand what it's *for* exactly.
