This article covers the history of Google Buzz, a social networking and messaging tool from Google designed to integrate into the company's web-based email program, Gmail. Google Buzz was announced on February 9, 2010, in a press conference at the company's Mountain View headquarters and launched on the same day, at 11 am PT for the first set of users. The feature, available from the Gmail inbox, will be rolled out to Gmail accounts in the coming weeks. A mobile version of the site optimized for Android phones and Apple's iPhone has also been launched, while a version for businesses and schools that use Google Apps is planned. Within 56 hours of its release, 9 million posts were made on Google Buzz — approximately 160,000 posts and comments per hour.
