People were pretty divided on whether or not Buzz should have been put into Gmail. I really liked that I was able to check both email and Buzz on the same page. I am now using Google reader a lot more because of the enhanced sharing functionalities.
I am now, however, experiencing serious multiple-update-checking-itis. I have to check twitter, and Buzz, and Email, and Reader, and Facebook… it’s tiring me out. I can’t keep up. I don’t have the time.
So here is my plea: Google, give me a single stream. Please Google, put Gmail, Buzz, and Reader all into a single stream. Make it look exactly how gmail is right now, but add little icons so I can see from what service it came from. I know it might be a lot of updates, but it’s ok, I can scroll.
Do not stop there Google. I want to know when my shared documents were updated. I’d also really like to know that’s it’s my friend’s birthday, or that I have a meeting in an hour. My brother just added Flickr photos of my nephew.. give me the heads-up (pretty please).
Make an open protocol for it. Let me add services. Make it easy for me to share anything that comes into my stream.
Anyone else have any ideas?
