"Google has made Buzz different because it wants Buzz to elicit a different kind of interaction. When eWeek.com asked whether Buzz is out to kill Facebook or Twitter, Google’s VP of product management said, “Absolutely not… . It’s hard to create a trend line or extrapolate too much from six days of use, but certainly conversation and the conversational Web is a place where Buzz has excelled.” If Facebook and Twitter are about status, Buzz is about conversation."

"The good news is that that while a counter-trend may be brewing that points toward “social overload” — companies that are agile like Google (and Facebook and others) can help us figure our threshold for how much we want to share and who benefits from it. The current hypothesis that everything is better with “friends” is being tested before our eyes. Each market in different parts of the globe may respond to this hypothesis differently. But the truth that’s becoming easier to see is that some things aren’t meant to be social (think e-mail and one to one messaging). Understanding this thinking will probably make the social web even better. As social technologies progress, valuable and meaningful engagements will become more important than just connecting with friends."

Android 2.1 Coming to All U.S. Android Phones? [RUMOR]

Testing to email from Google Reader to my Tumblr blog…

Sent to you by svartling via Google Reader: Android 2.1 Coming to All U.S. Android Phones? [RUMOR] via Mashable! by Matt Silverman on 2/27/10

Version 2.1 of the Android operating system (which currently powers newer handsets like the Nexus One) may be coming to older Android phones in the U.S, according to a report. This corroborates some earlier rumors, and comes despite speculation that 2.1 simply wouldn’t fit on older hardware like T-mobile’s G1 handset.

The rumor is being reported by Taylor Wimberly of Android and Me, who cites “inside sources familiar with the matter.” Wimberly also notes that not all of the features of the Nexus One will make it to the older phones, such as Live Wallpaper, and that certain handsets may require a clean data wipe before installing 2.1 via PC interface (a departure from previous over-the-air updates that Android users have enjoyed).

Given that the most crucial user data stored on Android phones is generally in the cloud (e-mail, contacts calendar) and other apps and files can easily be backed up via SD card, a system wipe in exchange for a shiny new OS seems worthwhile. But questions remain about how older hardware will handle some of the heavier features of 2.1. If the rumors are true, it would be great news for early adopters of Android who now long for the updated features of the Nexus One.

What do you think? If available, would you upgrade your old Android phone to 2.1, or simply purchase the newest hardware when you’re ready?
