Why Google Buzz might just work - It's a good distraction

I had two quick thought about Google Buzz when I first heard about it:
- Really, another status update site?
- If Google is getting in the game they are going to be serious about it

Now i've realized that the main reason it might just work is because it's so connected to Gmail. As of this morning I have checked my "Buzz" at least 10 times and haven't even looked at my Facebook or Twitter.

That's because every time I check my e-mail I see that little number in parenthesis and it make me click. I'm sure some will find it a distraction....but let's be honest Twitter and Facebook are also pretty big distractions. Which is why they work.

So I'm posting this to my Posterous which will feed to Facebook, FriendFeed and Twitter which will feed to Google Buzz...which will hopefully give you a quick distraction from your work. Now it's your turn to reply and give me yet another distraction. Thanks!
