Regardless of how people viewed the event, it certainly highlighted the new use of social media. I too saw the fan page within a few minutes of the goal and was amazed by the growing number of fans in such a short time. I think it highlights a way we can all connect and share, whatever the subject.

As for the excitement of that golden moment, this is a great video taken from outside Vancouver, listen to at least 1:25 in and hear the reaction:

Comment on Are You Ready to Tell Google Buzz to Buzz off? by Mary H Ruth

Good points, Craig. The thing that bothers me, actually, about Buzz is the synthesis of modes. I like that Facebook is an experience of its own, separate from - say - Twitter, or LinkedIn. Or whatever. Networking tools that duplicate what's already available and roll 'em all up into one ... I'm immediately suspicious. It's like sub-prime lending: the value decreases if the packaging becomes too efficient.

Know what I mean?

Caveat: I haven't tried Buzz yet, only read about it.

1. My computer's name is Buddy. Buddy talks to me, listens to me and understands me.
2. Yay! Connexions is tomorrow!
3. I just bought some new flannel jammie pants for work.
4. Was a little bored today so I hung out at the Starbucks in the Grocery Store.
5. The Weather Channel is my home page.

Do I have a problem?

Hey Joe,

I could imagine the buzz you would have created for your business through the interview with Chris Brogan! I am really impressed with how you are building positive brand recognition and exposure for your restaurants via social networking - very creative. I would love the chance to interview you for our students at VAClassroom as many of them do work for local businesses are often find it challenging to get the social media "buy-in" from them. You have a great case example they can add to their arsenal.

Thanks for connecting!

Hi Craig,
Thanks so much for sharing our story with your world. It's been an interesting couple of weeks for us since our interview with Mr. Brogan. Social Media just flat out works for the service industry and we're living and doing business as proof. Thanks for your additional exposure.
