How to Find People on Google Buzz
Google Buzz is a type of social network for people with Google Mail (also called Gmail) that allows you to share more information with other Gmail users. You can activate Buzz through your Google account. Once you have done that, Buzz automatically finds and lists other people in your contacts who are also using Buzz so you can interact with them in real time. However, if you have many contacts or can't find a specific person you're looking for, you can find people on Buzz by searching your Gmail inbox.
