Google Buzz has made a big ripple in the social networking world and many people have chimed in on the web. There’s a lot of activity surrounding the privacy concerns as well and I share my thoughts on that as well. Google Buzz is by no means perfect and hopefully will improve over time.

Apparently due to some carefully targeted cyber attacks, Google is re-evaluating their relationship with China and has decided to stop censoring search results on Google.cn. Google has suggested the possibility of pulling business out of China if their government is not on board with this change. Big words from Google.

When it first hit the scene a few months ago, it wasn’t quite ready for general use. Flash wasn’t working and a bunch of other features were missing. Now, the latest nightly builds of Chromium have working Flash and is generally stable enough for day to day usage. I’ve been using it as my default browser for about two weeks now and I’m very impressed with the speed and functionality. There are still some problems, but I highly recommend at least giving it a try. TechCrunch ran a great article on how to automatically grab the latest nightly build using their script: http://bit.ly/Du4uU Use this to get the latest build easily and enjoy Chromium!
