Late yesterday afternoon, Google updated its Gmail blog to inform users of a few changes in Buzz, the search giant's new micro-blogging effort.

Should the headline not have been.

"Google fixes fuck ups."

This is not cosmetic changes to please customers, this is fixing major security flaws.

It was just released, everything has problems. Typically that's why people release BETAs.. but you don't really release a BETA social network do you? They fixed the problem so how is it a fuck up? More of a "BETA" problem, that got fixed during the early release of the service.

So, gratz Google on yet another service that you offer. I'm sure that a lot of people will use it. . I personally probably won't use it just because I'm not that big of a social networker.

Well I guess this proves Google is committed to their social network they are creating. Good news overall.

It just shows up on your Gmail and you can't control who follows you, you don't have options to DISABLE it, you are not asked to Accept people. You just can "Turn it off" which only takes it out from the screen but it seems everything keeps going underneath.

Pretty OPEN...

Internet social networking is a very double-edged sword, to be sure! I hate the publicity of it, but I like hearing from friends and family whom I generally wouldn't hear much from.

You mean Google actually listens to users?

Why so sore? You cried and Google didn't listen?

This was a mistake on Google's part only because it was automatically rolled out to Gmail users without prior consent on their part. Had the beta been opt-in then it wouldn't have been nearly as upsetting when problems like this arose.

When someone signs up onto a social networking site, they should expect that their information will be at least somewhat public (that is the whole idea, after all). But when someone signs up for email, they don't expect the whole world to be able to see into their private lives.
