Google adds possibility to Buzz re-share

May 28th, 2010 admin

Google are working on Google Buzz , despite not having much success. Proof of this is a new feature that just announced: the reshare which, simplified, is how Twitter retweets.

I say simplified because of Google not only thought about how “repeat” the updates, but have also worked hard on making this feature easy to use , and the truth is that they have succeeded. The process is simple: you click on the button “reshare” some entry Buzz, add a comment if you want and what we publish.

However, the characteristics of “reshare” Buzz beyond. For example, if several friends do reshare the same post, we will not see a lot of the same updates, but are grouped in the same . In addition, we can also see the original post all those who have publicly recompartido.

It is a good move by Google, but I think it will not serve to Buzz is mostly used (in fact, would have to take something big to Buzz cease to have automated 90% of content ). “You what do you think about this development, I will be useful or not usaréis for nothing?
