At an event at the company's Mountain View, California, headquarters, Google also seemed poised to take a poke at the AOL Instant Messenger service, saying Buzz will be offered to companies as a tool for interoffice communication.

Google Buzz, a feature of Gmail, aims to compete using elements similar to Facebook and Twitter. (CNN)  Google plunged into the world of social networking on Tuesday, melding pieces of Facebook and Twitter into a new feature, Google Buzz.

So  I think in future google buzz will be popular.

Google Buzz was a social networking and microblogging service that was discontinued in 2011. It aimed to integrate various social media platforms, including blogging and microblogging, into one interface. While it had some interesting features, it didn't gain widespread popularity and was eventually replaced by Google+.

On the other hand, Twitter is still a widely used platform for microblogging and sharing thoughts in short messages called tweets. It provides a way to quickly share updates, links, and engage in conversations with others using hashtags and mentions. Twitter is also known for its ability to disseminate information rapidly and connect people with similar interests through trending topics.

However, due to the character limit imposed on tweets, Twitter may not be the best platform for in-depth group discussions or expressing complex thoughts. It's more suited for sharing brief thoughts, news updates, and links to external content.

Google Buzz:
- Google Buzz aimed to integrate various social media platforms and provide a centralized interface for sharing updates and engaging with others.
- It allowed users to share text, photos, videos, and links within their network.
- Users could engage in conversations and debates on specific topics by commenting on posts.
- However, Google Buzz faced privacy concerns and received criticism for automatically connecting users to their Gmail contacts without explicit consent.

Twitter:
- Twitter is a popular microblogging platform known for its character-limited tweets (originally 140 characters, now increased to 280 characters).
- It allows users to share thoughts, news, links, and multimedia content in a concise format.
- Twitter's use of hashtags and mentions enables users to connect with others who share similar interests or discuss specific topics.
- It offers real-time updates and trending topics, making it a valuable source of breaking news and discussions.
- Twitter's public nature may lead to challenges in maintaining privacy and dealing with online harassment.

In summary, while Google Buzz is no longer available, Twitter remains widely used for microblogging and sharing information. Both platforms had their strengths and limitations, and the choice between them would depend on individual preferences and goals when it comes to engaging with others and sharing content online.
