Another proof that our concerns about Google Buzz privacy issues where right is the new updates they've made to it. Fortunately for us GOOG is really interested in Buzz's acceptance so they're being very quick in taking our feedback. The latest Official GMail Blog post GOOG talks about "A new Buzz start-up experience based on your feedback" where the major issue raised, which is Followers Publication, is addressed. On this upgraded version there's a new tab in the GMail settings where you can manage Buzz's settings. Auto following is also reviewed. It is now a manual process where you choose exactly who you want to follow. GOOG also states that in the next couple weeks they'll be showing a similar version of this new start-up experience to the people who have already started Buzz to give them a second chance to review and confirm the people they're following.
But for me Buzz is still interfering more than it should on my GOOG experience. From Buzz's settings tab in GMail I don't like the idea that if I don't want Buzz, to delete it I also have to delete my GOOG profile. I hope they separate these two options in the future because I had a GOOG profile long before Buzz appeared.
