If Wave was launched with the Gmail integration of Buzz I think we would be discussing a completely different outcome.

Is buzz doing any better?

  • I think the problem is two-fold both with Buzz and Wave. First the implementation and the adoption.

    I think Wave idea is awesome, but their implementation (and performance) has been always an issue. My communication is already fragmented over so many places I don't want another domain for another form of communication. They should have added wave into Gmail by default. Wave always had horrible performance issues (still does).

    Buzz doesn't solve any communication problem that I can't use it on any other popular services. So Buzz adoption doesn't make sense to me whether its integrated to Gmail or not.

    Buzz is a "me too" product. Wave was not.

  • I believe Buzz has double digit millions of active users. I can not find the source currently though.
