>From a brand perspective alone, all features aside, I think Facebook
is a better name, and lends a more traditional and substantial aspect
to the social network, linking subtly to scrapbook, notebook,
real-life media.  Whereas Buzz sounds (to me) more like transient
fluff, noise on the wind.  Ultimately I think this brand identity
will also play a role, along with the wariness people are feeling
after finally getting re-friended up after the myspace/friendster
migration.  Facebook will be in the mix, at least for a few years,
and won't go away until it is absorbed.  People don't want to
migrate again any time soon, so challengers will be forced to come to
them.  My prediction anyway.
