Remember Google Buzz? A Blast From The Past
When we get a call to check on a website that recently (recently?) got hacked… and we just can’t stop wondering why that might have happened.
Does anyone even remember Google Buzz? It’s been a while. But apparently its legacy still lives on – on some websites.
What wikipedia says about Google Buzz:
On October 14, 2011, Google announced that it would be discontinuing the service and that the existing content would be available in read-only mode. Buzz was discontinued on December 15, 2011 and superseded by Google+.”

Seriously, the service itself was discontinued in December 2011 (!).
That’s over 5 years ago at the time of this writing.
That’s ages ago in internet time.
We found a bunch of other interesting things on this site (including WordPress 3.2…from July 2011), but seeing Google Buzz again was a very strange and – somewhat – nostalgic experience.

Oh wow! That IS a blast from the past. Google just doesn’t have luck in the social networking space. They don’t seem ready to let go but Google+ has hardly made an impression either.
I like certain features of G+ like the authorship functionality. Buzz? Not so much, and the “new” G+? Meh.
