Just got this press release:
I hope you are doing well. I wanted to let you know about a unique social news service that just launched – BUUUZ.com.
Have you ever wanted access to a community of people who have the same interests as you? Where you can share artistic visions, muses and styles? Many people find social websites like Facebook and MySpace invasive and difficult to navigate. At BUUUZ registration is simple and members create virtual "islands" based on subjects of interest (islands are populated with news from websites across the internet as well as BUUUZ community discussion). Creating an "island" for a topic is as easy as picking a few keywords that best describe your interests.
As an example, if you love to oil paint like I do, you can use favorite artists, museums, etc. as island keywords to be alerted on stories and member conversations mentioning them. Then you instantly become a part of a worldwide conversation through this new service, where you can find and interact with new friends who have the same interests.
In light of the Facebook Terms of Service uproar from last week I wanted to mention:
– BUUUZ's subscription revenue model, makes it so they do not have to "fight" with the users about owning their data.
– At BUUUZ, when a user deletes their account, and their data is completely deleted
– BUUUZ has also set up automatic deletion of old messages
Please feel free to take a look at the service at BUUUZ.com and reach out if you would like images or have questions.
Best Regards,
Brent

… to which I can only say, "ARRGGHHH!" Or, perhaps, "AIIIEEEE!!!" Or somewhat more sedately, "Please; not another freaking social networking site."
Since I did that column over the holidays about Facebook, I have had even MORE "friend requests," and some of them have been from being I actually felt obliged to say "yes" to, so as not to hurt anyone's feelings. (And yes, some of them were people I'd actually like to maintain connections with, but not all…) And some of them were … a tad… weird. Like, if I thought myself a target for such things, I'd think "stalker." Which is not a good feeling.
Who's got time for all this socializing? Hey, you've got time on your hands, go read a newspaper. And then, go to the mall and buy something, and tell the merchant to buy some ads. Make yourself useful.

Now that I’ve posted that, it occurs to me that’s probably not the kind of “BUUUZ” they were looking for…
B-U-U-U-Z. Is that pronounced “booze?” Because I don’t know if anyone should end up going around and saying how much more fulfilling his life has become since he first got on the BUUUZ.
I’m also getting tired of seeing more and more social networking sites popping up left and right, but this one truly seems different from the others…
I agree that you can easily waste a lot of time on sites like Facebook: dealing with endless applications and gadgets sent by “friends”, updating your status, replying to messages, etc., but BUUUZ is different in that it allows you to “save” time.
Let me explain. If you’re like me, you may have a few forums that you like to keep up with (cars, gossip or whatever else you like). Instead of going from forum to forum and reading relevant and irrelevant messages, you can add RSS feeds to your BUUUZ world and instantly receive the latest updates that contain the keywords that are important to you from the sites that you care about. So you get all the information you need in one place instead of surfing the web and getting it from various websites. As a bonus, you can also meet new people who share your interests by reading and replying to some of the messages you get from other users. You only receive messages that contain your keywords, so you only receive messages that are important to you.
By the way, I believe BUUUZ is pronounced “Buzz” and not “booze” based on the default profile picture being a “bee”.
