The Google Buzz team announced they will be offering suggestions for new people to follow the next time you login to Google Buzz.

Google said the “suggestions are based on your frequent email/chat contacts, your public connections on other networks, and their activity on Google Buzz.” Google will only show you suggestions of public Google profiles and you can easily follow them or ignore the suggestion when you see it.

Recently, Twitter added suggestions for people to follow on Twitter.
