If like me you have not looked at Google Buzz very much since the initial release, you might consider taking another look. I have been reading the Google blog for a while, and noticed several posts over the last few weeks about updates they have made. For me the biggest of those changes is smarter comment collapses.

My biggest complaint about Buzz was that I could not read posts from people I followed without scrolling through several pages of comments first. After the comment collapse changes it is now much better. I can easily skim the people I follow, and if something is interesting expand the comments and join in the discussion.

Keep up the good work Google, Buzz still does not differentiate itself enough from Twitter and Facebook. But if changes keep coming I think it will find it’s place in time.
