Google.com on Wednesday launched a new social networking tool 'Buzz' putting it in direct competition with Facebook and Twitter. Buzz, which would be integrated into Gmail (Google's email platform), lets users share updates, photos and videos.

The tool, which is being rolled out to users slowly, can also be integrated with Twitter, Flickr, and Google's other tools like Reader and Picasa. To access Buzz, users must log into their Gmail and check the new tab under the inbox link.
