What’s Buzz?  That’s a hard question to answer.

What does it feel like?

It feels like a more streamlined version of Google Wave and Twitter.  You have a timeline, followers, and people you follow, like in any Twitter like site.  You also have the ability to post all sorts of neat shit into your Buzz, and with no character limit.  Conversations are threaded, and you can pull information in from other sites, like Flickr, Twitter, Picasa, and more.

Do I like it?

Yes, I do, but there’s a problem.

I’m already on SO many social sites that I don’t think enough people from each of those will be moving to Buzz.  Right now I use Twitter, Plurk, and Facebook as my 3 big social sites.  I have a unique set of contacts on each one, with very little overlap.  Will they move to using Buzz? Maybe, but I doubt it.

Where does this leave Buzz?

Who knows.  It’s really cool, and I’d love to use it, but after the fiasco that was Wave…I’m not sure what the adoption will be.

Every day this month i’ll be writing 140 characters of fiction (actually 135, because of the space and hashtag) on Twitter.

The easiest way to find my posts is by clicking here.

I’ve decided to tell one story over the course of the month. Originally I thought I’d just post separate story chunks, but then a wonderful idea struck me. Follow Sih in a strange, micro adventure.

If you have no clue what I’m walking about, check my previous Nano WriMo post.

Then I see this tweet from Mur Lafferty today.

New blog post: Random thought- Nano WriMo http://bit.ly/hQW8D

Hrm. Interesting. Let’s click the link and see what we have.

!!!

Awesome idea.

So this year I’ll be participating in Nano WriMo. Should be interesting, thought-provoking, and fun!

Aiden’s Awesomeness will be more active this coming season with new fund raising events, contents, and more. Of course we’ll also be at the 2010 Greater Hartford Walk Now for Autism even.

There’s more work to be done on all 3 fronts I’ve setup, but at least they’re up and in a functioning capacity. I’ve got a lot in store for each, so keep your eyes peeled!

Since I still like the idea of a tweet digest, I’m switching to a weekly one. It’ll be longer, for sure, but it won’t clutter up this space so much.

While the tweet digests did get a bit of traffic, I’m sure it was mostly from sites that crawl and scrape those kind of things.

The service is still in beta, though it feels pretty solid.  It’s missing a bit of chrome, like the ability to change the theme of your timeline.  Right now the default theme is pretty ugly, in my opinion.  The only other thing it really needs is users.  I almost feel that SocialKloud has come a bit too late after the death of Pownce.  A lot of users have already moved on to different services such as Plurk (my current favorite), Twitter, Vox, etc…

I really like SocialKloud, but I can’t see myself REALLY using it unless a lot of my old Pownce friends converted over to it.  It has a lot of potential, now it just needs the users.

I get a mention in the first post in the series, Advice for Sony and the PS3.  Head on over and check it out!
