However, I don't like the "public-ness" of it. I suppose that if I can figure out how to work it with sending the same item to a group of people, then it would be great for family and select friends. I can see myself using BUZZ to send all three of my kids some kind of message and then the four of us would be able to see each other's comments. That would be easier than emails back and forth, especially since my kids always forget to hit REPLY ALL! On my end, the jury's still out on BUZZ. .-= Corina´s last blog ..<a href="http://corinajoyc.wordpress.com/2010/02/18/the-hershey-bar/" rel="nofollow">The Hershey Bar</a> =-.

Unfortunately Buzz falls down on providing easy ways to keep particular conversations going, and things lose context quickly. For an alternative, you (or your readers interested in Buzz) might be interested in checking out Shareflow — the app we built at Zenbe (before Buzz and even Wave). We think of it as a much simpler, more usable, more focused way of having private discussions around a topic. You can try it at www.getshareflow.com. I'd love to hear your or any of your readers' thoughts on it! Jay : ) Hey Kathy, I think you’re spot on that its best use case isn’t public, but private.
