It's essentially a "dashboard" for various sites which have status/activity notification. It's another category in gmail, next to Inbox/Chats. You can hook it up so any time you update Twitter, your Buzz status updates. Or activity in Picasa/Flickr will update your status. Then other people (gmail contacts) follow you, you can follow them, and you can comment/like/that. So its' kinda like an aggregator in that sense, and it's all manageable through gmail.

One neat thing is that you it's a layer on top of maps too ... so you can "buzz" with a maps location, and tag a location, add a recommendation etc.

from the video, I thought it would automatically link me to my contacts

but when I select to follow someone, it just gives me a search box for my contacts.... like uh, you want me to search for people 1 by 1, really?

I hope Google takes over the world or at least buys it out in a hostile takeover.
