The buzz about buzzle

Buzzle told me facts about grapes, showed me news from the Guardian, displayed ads from Google wanting me to buy the WestWing on DVD, reviewed characters from Agatha Christie novels and allowed me to send a customized e-card to Sarah - featuring a man with a large duck on his knee.

So what does this all mean?

Just an amazing amount of information all in one place. Information that is searchable, browsable and sorted into helpful categories. A perfect site for reading whilst on the desk over the summer period and filling in the time bewteen those infrequent customers.

But almost too much information if you know what I mean. The whole thing seems quite overwhelming when you first look at it and the further you look around the site, the more information you find with links to more information. Atleast with the benefit of the RSS feed, you can customise which information you access and keep up to date with.

Very interesting to keep up with the latest news and the latest views from the buzzle writers - but do I have time for this? I can barely keep up with my 21 lunge entries - I guess the amount of usage you get out of it depends on how much time you have on your hands.

Indeed, it's for those people with too much time on their hands. I know a couple of them, but not many.
