Marissa Mayer's IIT commencement address
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.

Shove it up your... or why the edit button in google buzz is wrong
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.

Video: What is Google Buzz
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.
Here is a 2 minute video of what Google Buzz is/does:
