Google Buzz – What’s in a name?

OK, so I watched the demo of Google Buzz (I’m still watching it, actually… they’re in the Q&A portion now). It looks interesting. I wonder if it’ll get the short-lived attention as Wave, or if it’ll actually stick. Time will tell.

My biggest problem is that I have to consider changing the name of Buzzbird again. If you’ve been following Buzzbird for a while, you know that this project has already changed its name once. The application was originally called Bluebird, but that name conflicted with another project. This project has nothing to do with Google Buzz – will the name “Buzzbird” confuse people?

Probably not. Probably Buzzbird can keep its name. I just wish Google had picked a different term.

    Hi. Well, I think the name “Buzzbird” is really confusing for people using Google Buzz. I downloaded your application and spend time searching for a feature to “buzz”, but only when I visited this blog I understood that there is no such possibility.
