Google has stood by and watched more or less as a myriad of social-networking sites, especially Facebook and Twitter, have occupied the public’s attention, and Facebook, has become more than a destination web site, as it has become a center of the user world as they communicate via status updates, third-party applications, and shared groups.

So it’s now official as Google has just announced Google Buzz, its newest push into the social media foray, and Google Buzz is easily the company’s strongest and boldest attempt to-date to build a social network. Imagine taking elements of Twitter, Yammer, Foursquare, Yelp, and other social services, and shoving them together into one package. Now imagine covering that package in a layer that looks a lot like FriendFeed. Now imagine shoving that package inside of Gmail. That’s Buzz!

Following are five key features that define Google Buzz:

- Key feature #1: Auto-following

- Key feature #2: Rich, fast sharing experience

- Key feature #3: Public and private sharing

- Key feature #4: Inbox integration

- Key feature #5: Just the good stuff
