Buzz has already wormed it's way into my life. Sure, it's mainly done that by telling me it's there every time I check gmail - which is too much. But the way I like it is that it tells me the interesting things my friends are doing elsewhere, and lets me talk about them. Very few people actually Buzz deliberately, but then many conversation get started by a tumblr post, or a twitter post. Sure, those obviously have their own mechanisms for interaction, but those mechanisms aren't cleanly integrated into something I have open all the time, and telling me about them. Um, except twitter, because I have that as a widget in the side of the page.
Oh, and the (pretty much separate) geolocating public Buzz layer on Maps for mobiles is very nice. I discovered a tea place I want to check out just round the corner from my house, if nothing else.
