So what do you guys think?

I tried it, its a bit temperamental here in the uk.
Google have basically reinvented twitter, but in this case it is potentially useful!
I dont have the layer for maps, of the icon on the browser - maybe cuz im uk??
Pretty cool to see whats happening "nearby".
They say
We're still rolling out Buzz to everyone, so if you don't see it in your Gmail account yet, check back soon.

I'm also still waiting for it to show up on my google sites.
Update your Google Maps to 4.0.0 and you'll have Buzz!
I tried it and it's really cool, I think I'm only using it with latitude tho.. prefer twitter.
The mobile page is still a bit slow but looks good.
Didn't try the "nearby" yet, is it available in Maps too? can't find it right now
I went to my Gmail page on my laptop, and didn't have a Buzz label. I haven't tried updating Maps on my phone yet, but I will now and play with it...

First Post!
Woo Hoo! First one to Buzz within about 100 mile radius! (yes I live in the sticks) Almost like a first post on slashdot or something...
I'll check the nearby stuff tomorrow xD I don't think I have many people around who using buzz

I don't think so. Google seem to have underestimated, once more, the amount of traffic that's generated. Buzz seems to be broken in the UK atm.

Not only that, but Buzz doesn't really fill the same niche that Twitter does. Twitter has Geolocation, but doesn't really focus on it. Twitter is more about mini-conversations, and sharing byte-sized information.
This is kind of like Britekite or something.

So what happens in a week or two when the whole map is "buzzed" ?

They must expire (i suppose), otherwise "Buzz" will be useless pretty soon.
maybe 24 hours is too soon though.....

yes, the Nearby list is sorted via proximity, and on the map, they expire after 24hrs.
anyone having the issue with "posting" the first time you try to post via the mobile site - you may need to turn ON your pop-up windows. There is a pop-up that asks for permission to show your location.
I ended up downloading Dolphin, and it worked there (after the pop-up)... after that the stock Android browser worked correctly.

Someone should create a Craigslist application unless a free one already exists I don't know about? Lol.
and also a kijiji app
I think windows mobile is the only OS that doesn't have it. My friends have it on their Droids and iPhones.
I have been recently wondering. If an app has been created for droid and Iphones. how hard is it to make the exact same or similar app for us WM users?

It has to be built from the ground up for WM...android and iphones are based on the same core technology in terms of the OS, but WM is a completely different beast. That's why you'll usually see the android and iphone versions of a software title appear at almost the exact same time, and then rarely if ever a matching WM release

I'll write a much more touch-friendly CL app when I get a chance in a few weeks.

why do you need an app?
Seems like cl works just fine using the browser. I also have used the browser for google voice, gmail, etc... they all work fine (of course you have to do some zooming at times to select links).
The one thing I haven't found yet is a very good web based im client. I've played with ebuddy but am not sure if it's very good yet.

Any RSS reader can read Craigslist. Some RSS readers have alarms for keywords as well.

For the same reason that dedicated apps exist for Facebook and anything else-- a native app can offer a much easier and faster on-the-go experience. Craigslist is a pretty simple site, but it still requires lots of panning and zooming to use on a phone. A solid mobile client would take care of that.

Just wondered if you had the time to write a more "touch-friendly CL app" yet?
I would love to try it.
You could just save your local CL as a bookmark and attach it as a quicklink.
It helps if you add as a browser tab, and go into the site. This way the sites page is saved as a icon image. Then make it a quicklink.
Didn't see it posted here or on any of the major sites yet. 2.1 is up on springs site now.

Only links to the htc sync software. I'm thinking HTC is behind on the update.
I just @replied Sprint about it. Hopefully they say something back
Not like I actually need this, It is just interesting to see what came come of it. I am extremely happy with the 2 roms im running now. Just to figure out which I like more now. Fresh Toast 2.1 or ZenEXP0.9.6

What comes of it is... 2.1 roms with ZERO bugs. Not even the audio bug.
I wonder if this is identical to the recent leak. I'm kinda hoping that we get the friendstream app or the updated sense running in Zen's ROM. I doubt that will happen. But at least we can have a stable ROM where everything will work off the bat.
Looking at the software versiom number, it's the same as the recent leaked version.

Yeah my bad. I didn't go so far as to click on the link as I was browsing on my phone. Didn't realize download wasn't up yet. But instructions for doing the update are there. Must be soon now.

Hello i am a htc hd2 owner and i know how hard it is to find some apps and games for this divice as there dotted all over the internet.
i only just started 2 night just made a quick design and 1 app to download in html but i am soon to make this into an app in the next 2 weeks. i have about 130apps i know of and tested on the phone and will give them all ratings and so on but atm its just the design stage.
Just want to know what you think of the basic design.
Be warned this is very early stages i have 2 weeks of work and plan to make it withing 2 weeks.

it works now, but i dont like the idea of a web browser app... if there's enough votes, I can build a (awesome looking + fast), app store (more like a repo, but will work the same way)...
I know php, so im thinking have a web portal for devs/app-makers to upload apps to... and then have an client app as a download portal... and I can prolly make it have a metro-esque UI... i have a huge collection of apps, but most of them are paid, so unless lets say gameloft decides to upload them to the repo and get paid through an app like this... theres no way to put those on there even :-/... if you guys want one for free apps/games... jsut comment below...
Hey, this is a great idea and could blow up in a big way for the forum users/cooks! Even if you did an app, the cooks could have you put in a section for them so you could link their ROMs and tweaks all in one handy location. Problem I see is so many people wanting it to be updated all the time and you not having the time to do it; and I doubt you would get enough donations to make this a full time job! But I do think this is a great idea, app or browser based! Looks promising so far!
my plan is to make it into an app it was just a little test only spent a few min on it last night. Just design stage at the moment.
cool... yea lemme know if u need help... ... and i still prefer the design to be something metro-esque... HD2 deserves better eye candy than the iPhone
EDIT: Oh and dont like the idea of hosting files on megaupload... I have a server with lots of space and unlimited bandwidth... so like I said... web portal for devs/companies to upload apps... and client portal on phone to download straight from the server...
I am running 2.2 FRF91 on my N1 and I just noticed that the Facebook app caused my trackball light to turn blue... Woot!!! They finally did it.
Or else I'm just crazy...
Or else you havn't read enough on the the FroYo changes.
You seriously just posted this thread?
*facepalm*
Man, go get LED Tester. Think you'll really go bonkers with it.
Twidroid has been doing this for about a month on mine. I wish the apps gave more control over it though.
On a side note: Twidroid (now Twidroyd) would flash BLUE quickly. If I got a new email, I would get ONE (1) single flash showing I have a new email, then it would be all back to quick blue flashes. It did not continue to show me I had an email... which to me is much more important than knowing I have unread tweets. However, since it's changed to Twidroyd, the EULA is quite ominous and I don't agree to having them intercept and have rights over my tweets. Granted they may not be significant, but they are my own and I don't want a 3rd party getting into it. So I've switched to the official Twitter app. It's not bad. I'll know more in a week.
Handcent sms apps gives you blue trackball. Yahoo Messenger gives purple color. FYI
u seriously just noticed this? *facepalm* its one of the first things i noticed. as soon as i flashed the rom for the first time i got a text and i saw the trackball blinking and i was like OMG!!!
Sigh!

While most people know this, we did not think that stock 2.2 would include trackball colors. I was pretty shocked when I got my first blue facebook notification. I was able to download LED testers and play with the colors but unable to save them to specific apps.
You'd think it would have some settings if they where planning on including the feature. Eventually it will come I guess.

Windows 7 Google Phone Market - Coming Soon!

I'd like a market that doesn't forget my downloads and break my links. Other than that, they can make it look like 1998 Geocities page for all I care.
What's up with all the hating on the new design? That's just the page that opens up the first time! Who knows what the rest of the market is like and how they sort and list their apps. I'm just saying don't be so quick to judge it.
I'd like a market where you can get rid of the god damn pay apps that are utterly useless or don't use or ever plan to use again.
For instance.. OpenHome.. It's old crap and no one uses it anymore yet it contributes to "My Apps" clutter. I have a decent collection of pay crap I simply don't use, and don't ever intend to use again.. In 2 years our "My Apps" list is going to be stupidly long and a burden. Google needs a "Delete from account" option.

It's funny, because there are a lot of people that think WinPhone7 looks great (I being among them) but it is certainly a polarizing design. There are many people that you do, indeed, speak for. Nobody seems to be in the middle, that's for sure. You love it or you hate it.
