Goodbye Google Buzz: The World Barely Knew You - Yahoo! News
Adam Clark Estes via Atlantic Wire
After a tough life, rife with privacy complaints and confused users, Google Buzz will die in a few months so that the company can better focus its efforts on their new social network Google . “Changing the world takes focus on the future, and honesty about the past,” Google’s vice president of product Bradley Horowitz said in an official blog post on Friday that details the shutdown of Google Labs. “We learned a lot from products like Buzz, and are putting that learning to work every day in our vision for products like Google .”
Buzz is getting the heave-ho, ostensibly in favor of Google+. The angle Horowitz is taking? They have to focus so Buzz has to go. I won’t even parse that, given that they have spawned a parade of social apps in recent years, and never focused.
