Buzz

It seems like the name buzz is around in a lot of places on the internet, from Yahoo's buzz, or Blogger Buzz, or the new service from AT&T simply called Buzz. Buzz is a new service that collects popular blogs post from that day for your consumption, what makes them different from every other blog collecting site (e.g. Google Reader, Yahoo Mail)? Buzz will read you the posts to you through a creepy avatar that speaks to you in a Stephen Hawking voice. This is a cool little feature that is worth checking out but not really anything to get excited over, at this point you aren't able to add the blogs you read to this service so you won't be having your daily news read to you anytime soon. In fact buzz is pretty featureless when it comes to the ability to put user generated content in there. Still it is an interesting site that is making me play with the voice feature in windows right now (good memories of Ravencrest can be found in this little electronic voice).
