Surprisingly few Geo-Located Buzz near me. I guess partly because Buzz is not getting as much traction as we'd like, but also because geo-location isn't properly supported in the web version. And that Geo-Location isn't being used in Twitter either and not being imported into Buzz via connected sites. With so much noise around Foursquare, Gowalla and location in general, I don't understand why it's all taking so long to become mainstream.

Not many UK buzzers? Or not many UK, iPhone owning, buzzers who buzz from their car while commuting rather than from a laptop or PC? 4 May 2010 4 May 2010

Geotagged tweets are coming into Buzz with the tag.

There just aren't that many people tagging their social updates.

Buzz is 3 months old. What was Twitter's traction at 3 months? Facebooks? Does anything become mainstream after 3 months?

The mobile version of Buzz works fine on a laptop using Chrome, Firefox or IE with Gears. Wifi based location just works. So it's not hard to post all your Buzz through the mobile interface on a laptop and with Location included. But why do you have to use the mobile version to add location to your Buzz posts? 12 May 2010 12 May 2010

Call me a Luddite (or perhaps a privacy loon), but I still don't see the attraction of adding geolocation information to any kind of posts, unless you are trying to establish that you are actually a witness to a particular event, and even then, geotags can be faked easily enough. I suppose I just don't get the point, other than "because I can".

This post comes from the comfort of my upstairs shitter. Actually it doesn't, but you get my point.
