The "arms race" going on between Google and Facebook there was already noticed, just think of the new webmail service, Project Titan by Facebook, but the news will follow. To pull off a new idea this time we think Google of social networks in presenting itself with Buzz .

In this regard, in the coming days, the 176 million users of Gmail can be accessed through e-mail to this platform, much like Friendfeed , with the ability to share links, status updates, content and, for the moment, only some of the known 2.0 services such as Picasa and Youtube .

However, Buzz is part of a larger project which aims at a more effective platform than Twitter and Facebook , not coincidentally is also available for mobile application.

But do not stop there, soon to be launched well as Educational Enterprise and Google is keen to point out that their services are primarily aimed at 'utility rather than leisure .. whether it's a critique of the philosophy of Facebook?
