You don't buy then that this could potentially threaten Twitter and Buzz? In the social media marketing community that possibility is getting a lot of buzz (pun intended lol).

I think they'll have to come to an arrangement, I don't think that Twitter and Buzz will be put out or anything. In fact, Facebook going toe-to-toe with Google and Twitter (because they'd have to go after both) as well as the thousands of other sites that use the same methodology seems like legal and PR suicide.

Then again, I'm just a marketing guy and don't know all this legal stuff lol.
