Some people may have it. I have a higher up Google Labs/Beta account so mine has been on a few days but check yours for the link. Seems like a GPS enabled twitter/gmail/facebook status service.

Some of the GPS positioning from my iPhone is pretty accurate: [http://www.google.com/profiles/bryan.benway](http://www.google.com/profiles/bryan.benway) I personally love the integration between google apps. It has a lot of the same features found on MySpace/Facebook/Twitter but it blows Facebook Connect away and no Farmville ---

The google just prompted me to sign up for buzz last night, so I did. I don’t think it will fly though since most people will be like “Oh well I don’t have gmail so it’s not for me.” Soooo many of google’s products go unused. ---

It’s very difficult to pull people away something like Facebook once it’s established. Even if I personally like Buzz more all my friends/family are still on FB. Since FB is free and it works it’s tough to motivate a mass migration over to Buzz or any other competitor. FB has to mess up big and piss people off. See the UBRF to NYSpeed migration for an example. ---

It created a little bookmark I guess via the google app. For some reason it never loads for me though. I go into the Google Buzz and it just loads and loads. I’ve got 3 pages of Apps dude :P. It’s my work phone also. ---
