    You can kill Buzz out of your inbox (first thing I did) by creating a Filter for the words “label:buzz” and archiving them as they come in. Still show up under the Buzz menu, just not in your inbox.

    Thanks for the comment, Erika. It's going to be a bit overwhelming at first.
    I'm finally out of all day meetings and playing again. It's just a big
    firehose with a lot of noise and no way to organize it. I would caution
    everyone to follow a select group of people on Buzz just to keep the noise
    level down. Still playing.
