Google's Marissa Mayer delivers the commencement address at the Illinois Institute of Technology. It's about passion, smart people, vision, courage, allies instead of adorers and more. Worth watching.

From what I have seen so far, I like Google Buzz. It is still pretty unpolished but it could become a real competitor for real-time streams and even company collaboration tools.

One thing I don't like and what I think must change immediately is the option to edit your post. It comes in handy to fix a typo but it can very well be misused. Check out this real life example to see what I mean.

Google just announced Google Buzz, its new social service. Admittingly Google hasn't been very strong on the social media site. However, I have a feeling with Buzz they are on to something. Not that this is a revolutionary product but they have a massive userbase and buzz seems to take the best out of Friendfeed and Twitter and adds localization. This sounds like a very strong recipe for success. And I believe what they said during the product presentation: "We are just getting started". There are so many cool scenarios for Buzz. I am really looking forward to see an integration into our Google Apps suite. This could eventually even replace our beloved Socialcast as our internal communication platform/system.
