Google (many examples; e.g. Buzz), Apple (Ping) and Dropbox (Carousel) have all tried to build networks after-the-fact, without much success.
(Just make sure you turn off shuffle mode nothing's more embarrassing than having a vibrator buzzing along to P-Funk, and then all of a sudden Barry Manilow comes on).
But people already using Facebook — and LinkedIn, Ping, Foursquare, Google Buzz or others — may have a severe case of social-networking fatigue when asked to join yet another service.
On the east side, in the plains, sits Pest, the buzzing commercial and social hub of Budapest.
Or their buzzing of a U.S. P-8 reconnaissance aircraft.
BUZZ: Another great example of GE beating the competition (see story p. 38).
We observed significant differences across land-use types in the rates of feeding buzzes produced by forest (D = 11.506, df = 3, p = 0.009) but not open-space bats (D = 5.840, df = 3, p = 0.120); forest bats produced significantly more feeding buzzes in low-management versus medium-management coffee.
We plotted % MMHg against δHg and ΔHg of the sediment and aquatic biota (without the birds) and observed significant positive relationships with ΔHg (p < 0.05) across all sites; (WELLS; r = 0.86, BUZZ; r = 0.70, BOLD; r = 0.72, BARN; r = 0.89) and of δHg at all sites except BOLD; (WELLS; r = 0.68, p < 0.05, BUZZ; r = 0.71, p < 0.05, BOLD; r = 0.52, p = 0.08, BARN; r = 0.80, p < 0.05).
We plotted % MMHg against the δHg and ΔHg values of the sediments, mussels, and birds and observed significant positive relationships at WELLS (δHg; r = 0.87, p < 0.05, ΔHg = 0.93, p < 0.05) and BUZZ (δHg; r = 0.99, p < 0.05, ΔHg; r = 0.97, p < 0.05).
As Ellison writes in her recent book Buzz (2010), we are … drowning in data and confused by endless controversies (p. 149).
BUZZ: Without dot-com help, GE is way ahead of competitors in B2B (see story p. 38).
