the buzz about buzz

Ha!! I bet you thought I was going to jump in and join the sadness that is all commentary re dear uncle President Zuma. It is enough to say that I,  like most am disappointed, more than that, I am betrayed. As a polygamist with 8 wives, it has been quite painful to have to see the “I-told-you-so” glee of the monogamist sect. Their vindication of the backwardness, the abusiveness and downright wrongness of the idea of simultaneous love of many has shaken me. My good fortune is that as a chicken, the paradigm is still firmly routed in polygamy.

No, the buzz I am referring to here has nothing to do with politics and other peoples c** stained laundry. The buzz is technology, yup, Google Buzz. I haven’t even tried it out yet. What I wanted to talk about here is the way technology has become like a celebrity in itself. Everybody knows that technological visionaries like of course,  Steve Jobs,  have for a long time held rock star status within the geekeratti- but when the tech outfit has no one with quite that charm, their products jump into the limelight. So it is with Google. You’ve got to love brainyness to find the guys at the helm of that outfit charming but boy do they bring out drool worthy tech.

What’s more, their way of releasing software in dribs and drabs to selected audiences glued to the Interwebs is not much unlike the lines of people queuing outside Apple stores for the next blessing from Jobs. The only difference is that it is like queuing outside of the latest night club on a cold, wet and miserable winter’s night. Why? Because Google chooses who gets to play with their new wonder toy. Google picks you out of the miserable crowd, walks you down the snaking line and walks you through the gates of coolness. You feel like so special dude, those guys at Google chose me…. ME!! Does that mean I’m cool? Have they been investigating my surfing habits and picked me amongst all these googles of people? I’m sure there are people gagging to know their algorithm for choosing who gets to use their new software gadget. It’s probably right up there with PageRank.

Wow!! I must think of something really terrible to say on my first buzz post. What will it be called… buzzing?
