Posted on 10. Feb, 2010 by .

Today, the tech universe has been blogging about Buzz, a new Dr. Moreau synergistic (I had to put that word in) evolution to Twitter, Google Wave, GMail, Facebook Wall, and FourSquare.  On paper, it seems like a really great idea.  So, is it? My first impressions are relatively positive.  This service will definitely get better.  But [...]

Your living room TV is under assault!
