I already have 5 comments about Google Buzz:

I'll try anything once but I'm dubious...Gmail is where I do work, man. Isn't think like storing your candy on the treadmill? >>

I've had a long time to deal with candy in Gmail, by filtering my messages into labels... some things never get read (i.e. most mailing list email that I get).
It's only tempting when there's a folder I'm too busy to check at the moment, but that only has one or two things to read... too easy to get a reward (I've learned by reinforcement that my goal is to get rid of boldface).

Between LiveJournal, Twitter and Facebook, I was already struggling to decide where to post. And now this!!
The 4 audiences are different and yet there's a big intersection. There's no theme corresponding to each medium. Is the Internet destined to only get messier?

I want to filter Buzz notifications into a label, but this doesn't work because they are not ordinary emails!

Why does the number next to "Buzz" not correspond to the number of unread buzzes? Or, why can't I tell which buzzes were unread... and now automatically got marked as read just because I clicked the page?

Finally: from the Buzz page, I should be able to search my the posts generated by my friends, rather than the whole Internet.

you can filter by using label:buzz iirc.
