Google Buzz?!

Google Docs - now you're talking.

Great to share stuff with people using that.

And I have my Gmail account as my main personal account - the spam prevention is very good (as opposed to the non-existent spam filter from my business account... )

They are relying on the fact that lots of people have gmail accounts.

However the only people I know with gmail accounts tend to work in the computing and marketing industries.

I guess, if your company uses apps for domain and have more than 5 people in the company it could be super handy (& cheaper than cisco). Other than that, I can't see individuals using it.

Perhaps their trying to pave the way for something new in a later release of Android?

Why not move your business account to Gmail as well? Assuming that it's through your own domain, it's a doddle to set up - although much easier to do at the start rather than once it's actually being used properly. Did it with a couple of mine and MrsF's email domains no problem.

I sent wave invites to quite a few people on here and we were using it for a short time. It seems to have died a death, not useful for me, slow, pointless, whatever.

gmail itself is simply great. Far beyond any paid or corporate email service I've used, for the spam filtering alone.

Wave seems potentially interesting, but actually boring in implementation so far.

And buzz gives me no buzz. I don't like Twitter or Facebook though.

google's IM is actually OK. If you can't install a desktop client it's a decent choice and the fact it merges with email discussions is neat. Having said that, I rarely use it because I don't like browser-based apps and losing the ability to alt-tab.
