Buzzare Jokes

It has been more than 10 days since Google launched the "Google Buzz" and it has already come under a lot of criticism for breaching people's privacy. Buzz seems to be a combination of Facebook and Twitter especially Facebook since there is no limit on the number of characters one can post. I have seen some people post entire 4 paragraph length blogs on Google Buzz.

Well, I personally feel that it is very convenient to use from right inside GMail and it seems like an enhanced version of Twitter in terms of posting pictures and videos. But, there are certain things I do not like about Google Buzz. Not only that, Twitter has its own charm. First of all, Google Buzz "now" offers Buzzing only among contacts you add by yourself. Sometimes you even get to see other people's profile on some friend's Buzz. Clear lack of privacy. Although not as bad as Facebook where you can go to your friend's profile and see the photos of that friend's friend who you are not directly connected to. Also, you need to add people you want to Buzz with by knowing their Gmail IDs. That might be debated to be its single biggest disadvantage (lesser people buzzing)or rather its biggest advantage (more number of Buzz users). Google Buzz can never make any celebrity join or rather Buzz his/her updates. GMail ID of a person has become the single biggest identity since the last 3 or 4 years. And nobody would like to put that identity at risk.

Buzz also cannot match the speed of the updates that Twitter offers. An example is you go for a small coffee break of 15 mins and when you are back you see that you have 20 new updates on Twitter. You just click there and it shows you all of them in descending order. For Buzz, it is very similar but to actually see the updates you have to click and goto the Buzz sidetab. Additionally, twitter is an excellent example of a real time search engine. I have used it many a times when I need to read about something that has just happened and the Bloggers of this world or the Search Engine robots have not updated the pages or their databases. Twitter is really great at that.

Till Buzz becomes more of a serious competitor not just in terms of the number of users but also in terms of the features or the uniqueness of Twitter, here are a few Buzz jokes. These jokes have been contributed by a lot of my friends and by yours truly as well. Here they go:

Ab Buzz bhi karo.
Buzz aur kuch nahi
Buzzy bee
Buzz itna sa khwaab hai.
Buzzigar o Buzzigar
Na kuch tere Buzz mein na kuch mere Buzz mein
Buzzting into laughter
Ghungru ki tarah buzzta hi raha hu main.
Buzz ek pal.
No Abuzzing.

Ok fine. My apologies for all the bad buzzare jokes.
