Google Buzz for the Hobby?

Many of us use GMail for our hobby e-mail accounts. Today Google released Google Buzz, a social networking tool that's integrated into GMail. You can share comments, photos, and links with your followers.

It's kinda like twitter, but with the ability to mark your posts and either public or to pick who can see 'em.

Due to the great "private" option, I think it has possibilities as a way to share info among TRUSTED friends in the hobby; anyone else want to experiment with this? If so, message me, and we can swap Gmail addresses.

This is not a bad Idea BP!

I have sent you my gmail.

I've been selling all of your emails, for my hobby fund.

Way, I tried selling yours but kept getting the same reply, "he worries me"....?

You know three, of the twelve voices in my head agree.

TG has 500 closet friends?!!!!

At least they are in the closet.

Truth be told, I never knew I had 500 close hobby friends until directed to a local provider's post in the South Texas forums. Still not sure the subject was me because my recollection differs (slightly) from that of the poster. Imagine that!

Only sure thing is number of "friends" has decreased by 1, so all is not lost!
