What Twitter Has That Google Buzz Doesn’t

Retweet. I am a huge fan of retweeting. I love sharing news with people and give credit to the people that initially posted it. In Google Buzz you can share links, which is similar to how you do it on Facebook. Twitter is a little bit different and makes having a constant stream a news a little bit easier.

Trends. Some people love this, some don’t. I love being able to see the top things people are talking about. It really gives me a sense of what’s currently happening on the Internet.

More Available Public Identity. Twitter makes it easy to show you what other people are talking about. Even the search is for all tweets. Twitter is understood as a public domain, while I feel like Google Buzz will be expected to be a little more closed off.

Easier Concept. What’s easier than a 140 character text message? Nothing. Some people will likely get confused what Google Buzz is and how to use it.
