Google has linked Gmail to a new service it calls “Google Buzz.” Buzz facilitates the instantaneous sharing of info like status updates, links and videos between Gmail users in a setup that will likely look fairly familiar to users of sites like Facebook. Can Buzz build upon an already strong Gmail base, or do users who are interested in this sort of communication already get a good enough fix from Facebook?
