Gmail Users Sue Google for Google Buzz Launch
Google was already licking its wounds from the virulent reaction by Gmail users to the introduction of Google Buzz – the social networking app in Gmail. The backlash from millions of angry people came from Buzz’s auto-follow feature where in Gmail account owners who activated Buzz raised privacy issues. Gmail users were initially griping that Google’s attempt of turning Gmail into a social networking platform wasn’t what they signed up for. They just wanted a free and reliable webmail service. How ironic that Google’s noble attempt to break Facebook’s almost-monopoly hold on social networking has landed in court.

Google Buzz: Gmail’s Social Networking App Ala Facebook
Since Facebook recently announced that they are developing their own email system, Google retaliated with the release of its own social networking application, Google Buzz. This open-source social networking was released a few days ago and is tightly integrated with Gmail. I already have it on my Google Gmail account and I am excited to have tested this new app this week. My conclusion: the Google Buzz App is an exciting new feature in Gmail. Game Apps could be on their way to your Google Mail accounts after this development (suspicion).

Download Digsby Free (IM + Email + Social Network) and Enjoy These Features
Digsby was compared with Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk (Gtalk) and Blackberry Messenger 5.0 in our previous article. Why does it sound like we are promoting this Instant Messenger slash Email Infobox slash Social Network utility? Simple. Its features are very good. Digsby still has some problems of its own but the number of users is growing each day because it’s a dependable communication tool whatever is your platform – PC, Mac or Linux. Update: Digsby at the moment is not available for Mac and Linux but the development is underway.
Digsby vs Yahoo Messenger, Gtalk and BlackBerry Messenger 5.0
We’ve been great fans of Digsby since April 2009 and we have found the update in late June a tremendous upgrade, if we may say so. It has been improved much to the satisfaction of many Digsby users. There had been some problems with authentication lately and other issues especially in logging in using Gtalk accounts (to be discussed in future posts) but overall, it’s one pretty amazing instant messaging + social networking + email tool. Also, we think that more softwares as creative as Digsby need to be created in the future.
