Tomorrow it will be exactly one month since the launch of Google Buzz . The song remains the same: it's a mess . Normally, that wouldn't bother me so much — after all, a lot of services are a mess — but Buzz has a lot of potential. But again, it's been a month. I'm starting to wonder if it will ever reach that potential. I'm also starting to wonder if it shouldn't have been introduced as something entirely different. Despite its many annoyances, I've been using Buzz regularly over the past month (Gmail integration tends to shove it in your face and I hate unread counts). The one thing I keep coming back to is that Buzz on the iPhone and Android is pretty impressive. Specifically, the location functionality as run through the mobile web is impressive. In fact, that's what I think Buzz should have started out as.
