Re: i lost my buzz with Google Buzz...

hi Michal,

thanks for the insight, and you're right in your assessment of the
value of my unsolicited rant.  in the future, i'll give my posts more
consideration and try to instill some value.

fwiw, i did write that 4 days ago (not sure what the delay was in
getting to the list) and since then, a number of people have
complained about Google Buzz.

afaik, revised the Buzz privacy settings twice in as many days.

also, according to the NYT, EPIC is considering a lawsuit:

"Mr. Rotenberg said that his organization planned to file a complaint
with the Federal Trade Commission claiming that the Google’s use of
e-mail conversations to build a social network was unfair and
deceptive."

and EFF has published a page on how to "Protect Your Privacy on Google Buzz"

cheers,
