Seems like it's very easy to use and Google did not over complicate it as usual. Allows for more than 140 characters of text, pictures, and you can visually see replies to messages. Plus, well, its fucking Google; so you won't be needing a separate account to access it.
Personally I hope it fails. I love Google and it is my primary search engine, however I do not agree that they should take over every web service out there. To be honest I doubt any of these new Google products are going to take off (Chrome OS, Wave, Buzz etc...) I also can't stand the Gmail UI which is why I don't use it

If they make a better product, which incidentally they do, why not let them take over? Would you rather let there be a verity of mediocre app's?
Google Apps Will be a HUGE player when cloud computing goes mainstream.

I don't think many of their apps are better than others. I also don't like the idea of one company owning the internet.
Jeez I hope I'm not going for a job interview in Google some day xD
I will cheer on anything that beats out Twitter and its horrible limitations. I'm not even opposed to the idea of "microblogging", but Twitter is like... pico-blogging. I should be able to write at least three fully-formed sentences in a microblog entry. And the argument about SMS limitations is so 5-years-ago. Get with the times, people.
The novice realizes that the difference between code and data is trivial. The expert realizes that all code is data. And the true master realizes that all data is code.
I do think it's kind of awkward having a bunch of random people I barely know connected to me through Buzz (seems like google adds people I get/send emails to, which is more so random people off YouTube than actual friends. Who emails their friends?). But I guess they're fixing the auto-add feature out of concerns.
Right now it only posts about my updates to Twitter and Blogspot, would be nice if it did that for other web services as well so that I wouldn't have to check Facebook AND Myspace AND Twitter etc. etc. just to find out what some family is doing, or some old friends are up to these days. :P
