Google Buzz Shutting Down

Google’s foray into the world of social networking started off with Buzz, but that somehow failed to take off, and with all the experience they gained in the process of delivering Buzz, they would have learnt a thing or two – hence the rather phenomenal growth of Google+. So as it always said one in hand is better than two in the bush , Google decided to axe down BUZZ.
The following announcement is visible on your Gmail (if you can find out ) -
Google Buzz is going away, but your posts are yours to keep
In a few weeks we'll be retiring Google Buzz. At that time you won't be able to create any new posts, but your existing content will remain
accessible in two ways:
- You can view it on your Google Profile
- You can download it using Google Takeout
Thank you for using Google Buzz.
Bradley Horowitz, vice president of product at Google, wrote, “Changing the world takes focus on the future, and honesty about the past. We learned a lot from products like Buzz, and are putting that learning to work every day in our vision for products like Google+. Our users expect great things from us; today’s announcements let us focus even more on giving them something truly awesome.”
Any how it may not be having any effect on the routine internet user - hardly any one bothered about Buzz
and so buzz is going away without making any Buzz
