Google Buzz – 9 Million Posts in 2 Days

Published by Tei Baishiki under Social Media,Technology.

Google Buzz was released 2 days ago. 2 days later nets over 9 million posts according to the Google Gmail blog.

Wow. That is a lot faster growth than I had anticipated. Additionally Google is stating it is seeing over 200 posts per minute from mobile devices. Very exciting news for sure.

    Tei,

    It will be interesting to see if the traffic holds at that level after the news of privacy/security issues…

    It is obviously too early to tell whether the high usage level drops after the buzz on Buzz has simmered down. The potential for use with Buzz is very high given that there are some 38 million Gmail users in the US alone. Twitter only has some 20 million users.

    Google has also been pretty responsive to privacy criticisms and concerns and has turned off the autofollow option and has replaced it with a suggestion of who to follow based on your contacts.
