This picture is AJ (Albert Einstein Junior) sleeping next to my dad. AJ is getting up in years but still is an active dog. He loves to walk and will hop into a bath tub to get clean (unlike Pascal who fights the whole time).
I mention my dad and AJ because they are
normal folks. My dad isn't interested in Google buzz. My mom hasn't discovered it yet either. Heck, my parents just got into a discussion over Facebook during the Christmas holidays. My dad is very opposed to the site. However,
if both looked at the Google buzz site then they'd be confused, maybe even overwhelmed.
First, how would they decide who to follow? I guess many of us ask that question.
To decide who to follow, we need better Google profiles. Lately I've been reading some of the posts before even clicking on the follow link. Initially, I add and made up my mind after following someone for a few days.
There must be a better way. Instead,
we need profiles that show us Google buzz post and comment counts. If someone is posting only RSS feeds then I'm really not interested in following them. If someone is posting just questions then I'm not interested in following. Instead, I'm looking for interesting ideas and thoughts. The post count is usually a good indicator.
What do you think?
Do we need better Google profiles or are you satisfied?
