Google Buzz Just Wasn’t Enough

Google is rumored to be making another run at Facebook with Google ME. This, after the failure of Buzz, is Google’s attempt to get their foot in the door of Social Media for real.

It’s probably good timing seeing that Facebook is making their first strike at a search engine.

No info has been released as to how Google might actually flesh out their new Social Media platform, but if anyone has a chance to make it, I think Google’s got it.

Google’s cross-property integration really creates a nice setting for a central hub of social media that Google users could seamlessly access from other Google tools like Gmail and such.

I also think if Google is going to do this right, they’ll need to have more in mind than creating another place that they can barrage with ads. They’ve got to find their own unique way to create a user-centric experience.

You guys are smart, how do you think Google should go about Google ME?  Comment Below and give me your predictions.
