I have not yet used it. I, like you, am interested to see if it will be received in the e-learning environment. I think the social integration and the ease of responding through gmail is definitely an advantage. Indeed, there is a lot of buzz surrounding the Google Buzz the last few days.

In answer to your question, need to first spend some time buzzing...will come back.  Initial thoughts - seems like a mashup between jabber and twitter - liking it.
