When Google Buzz will be available to you, a new label should be available under the Inbox. Google will be rolling out Google Buzz to everyone over the next few days; you'll see a new "Buzz" link under "Inbox" when it's on for your account.
Google Buzz provides links to website, content from around the web: Picasa, Twitter, Flickr, and other sites are aggregated. It feels a lot like Twitter, with @replies and a "recommended" feature that will show buzzes from people you don’t follow if your friends are sharing or commenting on that person’s buzz (RT anyone?).

Getting started with Google Buzz is easy. Just head over to Gmail and you'll be able to link up your Google Reader account with just a few clicks. Then, anything you share in Reader will automatically be posted to Buzz. Comments are even shared between both products, so you can view and participate in the conversation wherever you'd prefer.
