Dear Google,
You f*ck3d up. Here’s why:
EMAIL FAIL: Gmail conversation collect nicely in strings of individual messages, yet every time I get an email with a buzz update (the email notification is awesome!) it’s horribly long list of messages I’ve ALREADY seen. Reverse it. Separate them.
EMAIL REPLY FAIL: So I get an email with the latest update in my Buzz stream and guess what I do… I hit reply and, well, I REPLY. Do you know what happens next? Instead of my reply ending up as a buzz comment I get an email because I just sent my self an email. Brilliant! (<sarcasm). Even FB figure out reply via email. You could argue that Gmail has this feature:-)
NO CHAT: Google talk… uh, did you forget you had a chat product? I just had an obnoxious conversation via buzz. Comment. Comment. Comment… where’s the friggin CHAT button? Go ahead and post the transcript during or after the chat… just gimme a chat button! (which, by the way, could include video)
Now why is this so irritating? If you didn’t notice, these are features that already exist in you current Google products! This is like a tv station shooting a new program with a consumer video camera because they FORGOT they had a studio filled with HD equipment.
APP FAIL: Where the F*c# is Farmville? Just kidding:-)
Oh yeah, and please put a rush on my Google Voice invite.

There’s no option to post a photo in the mobile version of Buzz. That’s where I’m MOST likely to want to include a photo!
