How does Google boost Buzz usage? Create a new social graph. There's no reason to believe Buzz can't become the new go-to Web service for messages and conversations. Especially when Twitter goes down so much.

I can understand why Google would want Twitter. That glut of social microblogging data would give Google something it sorely lacks: a comprehensive social network that is pushing Facebook, if not in user numbers in cultural social computing relevance. Two things on my mind here. First, I surely hope Google does not buy Twitter. Second, Google has proven it doesn't need to.

Do you want to follow every Google tweet on Twitter? Now you can.

I would like to search Twitter content better. Summize seems to suck, so perhaps Google's microblog search service will help me do this. I'm not sure I'd like this because I like going to Twitter. Google owns enough of my data and as much as I happily use Gmail, Docs, Reader and other apps, I do get bored of looking at Google pages all day.
