I’m sure we can all agree that Google is big. Huge in fact. From what I understand they had a Super Bowl add this year. Who Dat? Google Dat! But everything they do is not always a hit. When was the last time you checked out Knol<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Moving along. This morning the buzz around the web is that Google has introduced the Twitter\/Facebook killer with Google Buzz<\/a>. Poor Twitter gets killed ever once and awhile and so is apparently a cat of nine lives on it’s final death bed. Just don’t tell that to the 14 bazillion users out there tweeting at this very moment.<\/p>\n

One big part of this domination tool though is Geolocation.<\/p>\n

At first look, Google Buzz reminds me of Pownce<\/a>. A twitter-like social network that came along about the same time twitter became popular and allowed your to share files, photos and other media in your updates. Pownce, of course, with many of the others have fallen by the statusphere wayside or are still being populated with home listing updates via Ping.fm<\/a> from Realtors trained by geniuses that tell them the more spam they have in their nature, the better their homes will sell.<\/p>\n

Back to Google. Here’s a look at all the Buzz from the release video:

I have not been able to log into the Gmail inbox interface yet, but I did have a chance to take a look at the mobile version on my iPhone. Now here’s where it might get interesting despite what Google’s biggest competitors think<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My first look on the iPhone. The top two nav features are “Following”, which is who’s in your network and “Nearby”, anyone checking in around your given location. Which is great considering mobile home page is location aware and features “near me now<\/a>” already. After giving Buzz approval to locate you via GPS what you find is something that looks like this… and where it gets interesting is in the layers:<\/p>\n

Unlike Twitter it’s all about location when your take a look at what’s happening nearby. Comments to each update can be threaded.<\/p>\n
