Using buzz or not, isn't really a big deal... the same people are already in your contacts list, just sort the people and update your profile.

Buzz is an extension of your gmail/gtalk and other google services - profile. Based on which gmail contacts you allow to view it or all. Oh and it's a social tool.

So if you're always in contact with your family/friends with gmail and/or all business (contacts) you can use buzz to extend your profile, give others the ability to access information, follow you like other social sites, share pictures and... other stuff.

I don't get the entire thing, it feels disconnected from the rest of Google. But I have a couple people that have followed me, I followed them, a couple buzz'z? have been posted..

Whatever.. it's easier to just leave it on and let my contacts learn a little bit more about me.
