Details of Google Social Layer emerge, to be centered around Buzz

There's something both fascinating and scary about that thought. Imagine I search for an event on Google, look up the venue on Google Maps, add it to Google Calendar, email it to a friend using Gmail, Buzz it using Google Maps on my Android phone when I get there (based on GPS) and leave a voicemail to a friend who uses Google Voice, all the while uploading geotagged photos to Picasa and videos to YouTube.

What would my activity stream look like? And who would have access to it?

Add Buzz to it to share things with groups of people (like Facebook's wall) and Google's existing Contacts list and you've got a good portion of a social network already.

Add a forum system (Google Groups?) and picture/video hosting (Picasaweb/Youtube) and you've got pretty much everything.

All that's left is to integrate it all a bit better so it feels seemless, instead of visiting so many different sites.
