Looks a lot better organized, but also a lot like facebook. Not that that's a bad thing, the facebook profile page has clearly been successful.

Er... there is http://www.google.com/profiles/iworkforthem#buzz and there is also https://profiles.google.com/iworkforthem/about

So there are 2 profile pages now?

About time. Let's see what happens when Google finally starts taking social serious.

Now where's my Google social graph?

I mean my social graph. The one that's easy to use and immediately useful to me :)

Doesn't work in the latest Chrome dev channel. Ironical?

No errors in the console. You just get a blank page.

> Another change is that you can now hide the Google Buzz tab from your profile.

Slowly admitting that Google Buzz was a complete failure...

I still like it. Works for me and my small group of friends and family and I can manage who I share stuff with better than broadcasting everything over twitter. I hope they keep it around.

A lot more people use Google Buzz exclusively than you would think.
