Was Google Right in Pushing Buzz in Gmail Accounts.
Google had every Gmail users a wee bit worried about privacy on their Gmail accounts. Buzz is a welcome addition to Gmail account but probably Google erred in forcing it into Gmail accounts. Later on they backtracked but every alternate Gmail user I came across was eager to know the ways to put if off. Google later on put up a Buzz Off option at the bottom of their Google page and later had the initial Buzz welcome option in Gmail turned off. But the early reaction was enough for people to raise doubts over Buzz invading in to their privacy. Another irritating feature was selection of followers list based on contacts in your Gmail account to whom you heavily mail.
Google has been quick to respond and taken prompt action to allay the fears of Gmail users. But the early damage has created some amount of doubts in the mind of Gmail users. No doubt Buzz is a excellent product whose timing has been just right. World may not yet be ready for Google Wave but definitely Googlers can start buzzing right away without any problems.
Download squad has just reported that a class action complaint has been filed in San Jose federal court. Though Google has decided to not to turn on the Buzz feature by default but still if you want to kill the auto-follow feature, click here to read the Buzz turn off feature.

Hmmmh… Buzz turns a mail platform into a initiatory social network tool. I to the end of time admired Google in view of their search character. Notwithstanding here I oppose. Privacy is in the present a majour threat. Although Google started addressing the privacy concerns, Buzz yet needs to overcome its problems. the people at Google seem to be playing with human data. Google has to do some better dialectics about its posterior actions.
