My notes (incomplete & inaccurate):

How long until they duplicate Friend Feed?

Well, they're about 3/4 of the way there.

Buzz is really bad when trying to keep out the noise in large groups.

Granular control is coming.

A lot more stuff from strangers, no icon, no clues about them.

Want a strict reverse chronological order.

Some clients show all the threaded comments.

Salmon is the protocol where new comments swim upstream across platforms to originating post.

Google is a Tier 1 licensee of the Twitter firehose, it's not know why they don't bring it to Buzz.

Clients can't innovate beyond what's included in the platform.

Wordpress has bought into PubSubHubbub.

As of now there's more value from native Buzz posts.

Buzz is crawling Twitter, not using the firehose.

Flickr feed takes hours to reach Buzz.

Logjam - too many Indians, not enough Chiefs.

Wordpress' Twitter integration will help.

Google with all it's resources is months behind what Friend Feeds' 14 developers were able to accomplish.

Continuing to irritate people, the damage will be greater than the initial privacy issue was.

If Google lets Buzz wallow in naiveté for six months, Buzz will be dead.

Twitter is already becoming internally balkanized like a mini-Microsoft.

We didn't hear any indication of when we see Buzz grow up.
