Turned off Buzz. It freaks me out.
Why does it freak you out? - Paul Buchheit
Did the same yesterday. It freaked me out. - Luca Sofri
freaked my organizational reality out. didn't want so much intermingling of critical and casual conversations. left unchecked it was going to be messy. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Paul, I live in a townhouse with a shared courtyard. In the courtyard, I can mingle chat, overhear, laugh, enjoy folks I know and folks I don't. FriendFeed and Facebook are like that courtyard. Google Buzz was like having the front door, my windows, my back door and my garage open as I'm talking to my sister, having a stranger listen in, and then follow my sister home. That is messed up. I feel sullied - and I am concerned about my less technically competent relatives. - τorƍue
So it's the fact that it automatically brings in your email contacts? - Paul Buchheit
Weird. - Mark
The funny thing is that I can easily envision and accept private conversations through FriendFeed or Facebook (and have used it for that), but not public conversations through Gmail. I am wierd. - τorƍue
Your social graph extracted and made public on your profile by default, that was bound to do damage. I turned it off as soon as a friend buzzed about it. I am sure RapLeaf has already mined the data -- thanks for the present Google. I like the idea of having one tool fulfill different messaging needs and supporting multiple social circles, but they forgot the privacy part. - Antonio Piccolboni
Same here.. turned it off.. I would probably keep using it if it was not within gmail though.. http://pavan.gunupudi.info/2010... - Pavan
It needs it's own page - agree on that one Pavan - Dan owns Comicsforge.com
Biting off your nose to spite your face? - Mark
wondered where all those unknown names came from...dizzying to say the least.. - Myrna
