			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Google Buzz" href="http://www.google.com/buzz" target="_blank">Google&#8217;s Buzz</a> has been out now for a few days. As with Apple&#8217;s recent iPad announcement, Google Buzz was met with a collective meh. Maybe it was due to product confusion, social media overload or a haphazard product rollout.</p>
<p>But one thing I won&#8217;t due is not check out the product. I see every new product as a learning opportunity. It drives me nuts when I hear people say things like &#8220;I don&#8217;t get it, wave goodbye buzz, the iPad is doa&#8221;. Unless you are a product engineer saying that your product sucks-ass, I&#8217;m probably going to take a look at your product or service.</p>
<p>A lot of so-called &#8220;Social Media Experts&#8221; and &#8221; Technology Leaders&#8221; are doing just that. They are dismissing something that&#8217;s only been released in the wild for 48 hours. Google Buzz might go the way of Microsoft Bob, but it might turn into a smashing success.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never let my lack of understanding of something color my judgement. Instead, it&#8217;s an opportunity.</p>
