Google Buzz seems to be Google’s latest child and they are currently in the process of describing it. It’s almost like Twitter meets Wave, meets Gmail. One item of interest is that it will be coming to your local Android phone soon with Google Maps integration and fully voice controlled if you wish. This will indeed be a new version of Maps, on top of the update that just happened providing multitouch. More information here as we obtain it.
