Role Reversal

Google looks quite a bit more like Microsoft recently.  When have you seen a review of a Google application that says things like “confusing” and “complex?”

Let alone the automatic data-hiding, which to me rings of the awful “menus show recently used commands first” in Microsoft Office.

I turned off Buzz, simply because I loathe the idea of Twitter for my own uses, and I can’t stand to use Facebook for much more than an extended address book.  A clone between the two?  Not for me, not yet.

The mobile features do seem to make some sense and have some promise.  That’s probably the thing to watch with Buzz.
