Create a provider for Google Buzz |
Google Buzz is a new way to share updates, photos, videos etc., and start conversations about the things you find interesting. It is the latest social network / microblogging mechanism introduced by Google and its usage has spread widely in a very small time period. But a big drawback of google buzz as of now is lack of applications for it (in comparison to twitter). Integrating Google buzz to eclipse communication framework will extend ECF quite vastly, since buzz itself can be linked to many information sources such as twitter, RSS feeds, google status messages, youtube, picasa etc. Therefore creating a provider for Google buzz will help eclipse users connect to vast number of sources through a single provider. In addition to that, it would be a more convinient way for users to access Google Buzz, since they will not have to constantly go to their gmail page and check for new buzzes, and thus, will enhance the usability of Google Buzz as well. |
