Social Advertising

I use Google Buzz and would like to share my first impressions and notes about this new product in bullet point list.

• Easy to use and understand
• Missing lots of functions: favorite, re-buzz, shortcut …
• Already interesting functions: mute post, unfollow
• To connect your sites google buzz, they have to be in your Webmaster Center and checked
• No management of Buzz sent to your contacts in google apps or outside-google emails (no alert to explain it’s only GMail-available)
• Interesting chrome extension to share on Buzz via Google Reader.
• In Gmail webmail: I didnt really understand the difference between the “unread count on Buzz link” and “the Unread message in inbox”
• The “mute this post” function doesnt work with post from flickr service (a bug?)

And you what do you think about Google Buzz ?

Found on LiftThink, a picture of google generation use on internet.

Not so much search and index and go to the recommendations system, recommendation is really similar to the social tools and networks functionalities.

I like this idea to browse internet using anything else that a search engine.

Mashable publie des données sur les médias sociaux.

Twitter itself is growing at a crazy rate; although it already has a very large audience, it grew 76.8 percent just from February to March. Its yearly growth rate? (…)

Digg is at 36 million uniques and growing fast again, despite a dip in traffic in February. (…)

Facebook now has a total of 65.7 million unique visitors versus MySpace’s 54.1 million. MySpace was sold to News Corp. for $580 million in 2005. Facebook’s valuation? Depending who you believe, it could be anywhere from 2 to 15 billion dollars.

Des progrès à faire encore :-) …
