Ted Taco: the First User of Google Buzz

Ted Taco was there the first time you knew Google Buzz was already live. He was in our Gmail inbox and since then we have seen him many times around the web, becoming familiar with his all too awesome stare. He is the face of Google Buzz, booyah.

But who is Ted Taco. Does he work for Google? Is he in marketing? What does he think of his surname? Many questions got me curious, so I did a little background check and based on his Google Profile, (please do click the link), here is what I’ve uncovered.

1. He has lived on the Moon

2. He writes like a 5th grader — or..  he really intends to say “Help Make Gmail Awesome” at Google Mountain View as an invite to professionals to come work for Google, and not “Helping Make Gmail Awesome” as his actual job description. Poor sentence construction either way.

3. Ted now only follows 13 people, dropping 6 as seen on the picture above meaning — he’s quite the snob?

4. He isn’t on Facebook. Not really that social I guess.

Well that is all I have for now but I will be investigating this further. Do you have any info on the guy? If so, here is my profile on Google Buzz and let me know. Let us honor the first person on Google Buzz before it becomes the next social media revolution with a gazillion users. Ted, wherever you are.. I hope you follow me too.
