Google’s new social net­work­ing ser­vice announced ear­lier this week, “Google Buzz” uses data about those you fre­quently e-mail to auto­mat­i­cally build a social net­work for you. In Google Buzz, your address book is your net­work, that is if you use gmail. Google Buzz is not yet avail­able for Google Apps users but promises it is com­ing soon!

Google unveiled a new ver­sion of its mobile Google Maps appli­ca­tion for Android phones and ver­sion 4.0 of Maps has Buzz firmly inte­grated into it. Maps offers lay­ers such as Traf­fic and Lat­i­tude that adds new info to your map and now a new layer called Buzz. Now you can send a location-based Buzz directly from Maps.

Buz­zard watch­ing – a great way to find out who is using Google Buzz in your area. And, of course, be care­ful because each buzz includes a full address of where the more tech-savvy peo­ple are!

My new favorite short­cut in Win­dows 7 – If you click the Win­dows key and the Left Arrow key, your active win­dow will instantly snap to the left side of the screen. Like­wise, click­ing the Win­dows key and the right arrow key will snap the active win­dow to the right side of the screen. This really comes in handy if you use mul­ti­ple mon­i­tors. When you’ve got that under con­trol, click the win­dows key and the up arrow and voila, your active win­dow is max­i­mized. Give it a try!
