Interwebz | The Interwebz Blog | In it for t3h lulz!

Google Buzz has been developed by Google to rival the likes of social networking giants Facebook and Twitter. Google buzz is currently being rolled out to everyone, so it should be appearing in peoples Gmail accounts soon.

Features:

No setup needed
Automatically follow the people you email and chat with the most in Gmail.

Share publicly or privately
Publish your ideas to the world or just to your closest friends.

Inbox integration
Comments get sent right to your inbox so it’s easy to keep the conversation going.

Photo friendly
See thumbnails with each post, and browse full-screen photos from popular sites.

Connect sites you already use
Import your stuff from Twitter, Picasa, Flickr, and Google Reader.

See updates in real time:
New posts and comments pop in as they happen. No refresh required.

Just the good stuff
Buzz recommends interesting posts and weeds out ones you’re likely to skip.

This comes at the time when Facebook have just launched their new and imporved ‘home’ design, which has a more web 2.0 feel to it.

Personally I cant see it rivalling Facebook’s 400 million users, but seemingly its trying to target Google’s 170 million Gmail users. Google have previously failed to create a social network with the site orkut, which has only really seen success in Brazil and India.

Watch this space.

Over the past few weeks interwebz.co.uk has been getting so many irrelevant and dam right shit comments, posted by people who are just commenting for the nice juicy do-follow link. Im sure alot of bloggers agree with me on this, its just a dam right SPAM.

Granted I have done my fair share of blog commenting to gain an extra bit of link juice, but I bloody well read the article and attempt to make a comment that I feel is relevant and contributes to the topic in question. I mean the least you could do is post a decent comment seems your getting a backlink out of it, YOU LAZY GITS. Im sick and tired of seeing 5/6 comments a day like this:

Im a troll: Hi, I dont always agree with your post but ive bookmarked your blog. Have a good day mate.

Firstly you have not bookmarked my blog you little fibber you and secondly im not your mate, MATE.

People are to eager to jump up the SERP’s and often this is their biggest downfall. Gaining a number 1 position in Google for a desired keyword is not going to happen over night.

If you want blog comments to help you your SEO then here are a few points that you might want to consider when commenting on blogs:

1. PLEASE, please read the article before commenting, it always helps if you know what the topic is about to post a decent comment. Most of the time you may learn something new, so there is no reason why you shouldnt read it.

I hope this will clear a few things up for you dam spamming trolls. Either leave a decent comment or ill just keep hitting “delete”.

Thanks

Google homepage displays: “This space intentionally left blank”.

By simply pressing F5 continuously on the Google Homepage I noticed that numerous things would appear, then disappear and then new things would appear. This seems to be Google doing more testing.

Upon moving the cursor, it fades back into the normal homepage.

Spooky
