Buzz certainly looks promising. I participated in the Google Wave beta which I though was going to be the next big thing. I really doubt Buzz will be a facebook killer. On the other hand I feel Facebook might end up just as Myspace did. Just like the great empires of the world sometimes they crumble. When Myspace was niche it had a dedicated following until it became the apple of the public's eye. All of that attention lead to its bastardization via flooding of advertisements and Myspace marketing campaigns. Now since Facebook is available to basically anyone (not just a tool used for college students to network) It will eventually grow and collapse just as Myspace did before it. I'm curious to see what kind of following Buzz gets. My prediction is the average user will be much older...speculation.
