Spam Hits Google Buzz Already

ChiefMonkeyGrinder writes "Despite only being launched this week, spammers are already targeting Google Buzz, the search engine's social network." If my buzz box is any indicator, the spammers are pretty much the only people actually using Buzz, and until Facebook can integrate, I wonder if that will change. The Times also has a followup on Google's Apologies following various privacy bumbles throughout the launch of Buzz.

Lately they seem to be the kid who does what the cool kids seem to be doing but can never get it right. Buzz was a dumb idea with an even worse implementation, and what exactly did Google really hope to gain with this one? If you are going to enter a market you damn well better have a good plan to actually do something other than slap your label on.
