Google Inc. launched a new service to bring social updates such as photos and Web links into Gmail and some Google mobile products, in a challenge to Facebook Inc. and other social media sites where people go to check up on their friends.Dubbed Google Buzz, the service allows users to post and browse content from people they regularly communicate with over Gmail in a new stream-like interface. People can choose to follow content from other Google users and Google tries to figure out what's relevant, surfacing some updates directly into a users' inbox. People can consume the stream of information through a left hand menu under a user's inbox. Beginning soon, they will also be able to post and view updates from Google's mobile Web site or Buzz mobile software application.
