Good post, and if you're using SM all you gotta do is learn to FILTER..

I feel so vindicated. I am what you might call a geek-wannabe... always looking to new technology and new applications etc. And, I too, am a long and loyal Google fan. I got my invite to Wave early and dove into it voraciously only to find.....no one I knew was using it and as Brian said, what good is THAT? I avoided the temptation to get the Google Nexus One (mostly because in reality I am NOT a techie and I heard of many support issues) and instead opted for the Droid (LOVE it) When Google Buzz was announced, the electricity was contagious and once again I was drawn in. Well for me, the problem is that the people that are important to me are choosing not to use Buzz. As a result, I have a list of followers that I don't even know. Just this morning, I started doing some judicious unfollowing. I kept thinking my fatigue in the long uphill climb of this learning curve was because I am just a wanna-be and not a legitimate techie/geek. It is refreshing to know that someone as well respected and intelligent about these issues as Brian McDaniel so eloquently expressed some of my concerns. I, too, will stick with Twitter and Facebook and just sit back for awhile to monitor Buzz from a distance. Whew!! I feel so vindicated.

I won't try to argue on the cool kids front. But now that I've finally signed up for Buzz, I certainly don't feel cool. It's empty and dark in there. Hmm. I won't try to argue on the cool kids front.

Google Wave turned out to be Windows Milenium, and Google needed to do something to draw attention away from it. <br><br>I don't even have Google Buzz yet and I'm already sick of the obvious plants and spam that's all over social media plugging Buzz as the biggest thing to come down the line since forever. People all over the LinkedIn Question/Answer section are basically predicting the death of Twitter and Facebook via Google Buzz. Gotta love the traditional overhype of the new thing.

But it certainly wasn't yesterday when I had the same "buzzkill" reaction Brian did. I logged in with my wide-eyed geek goggles on and left with my cynical shades when I found out I didn't get picked for the cool-kids team. That's true now, so thanks for the update.

And after the Wave, I'm still filled with trepidation about something new - that was a huge time suck! And it's crazy that there's not a little more thought on the part of Google peeps about this stuff. You're absolutely right, Janie.
