It was not very tough but the at the same time not so easy. The questions were MCQs with focus on concepts. I will advise reading the <a href="http://www.google.com/support/conversionuniversity/?hl=en" target="_blank">Google Analytics Course</a> and reading the various questions and problems in Help Center before attemting the exam. The exam had 70 questions and the time allowed was 90 mins.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have turned off Google Buzz, if you have not find a reason good enough for this, let&#8217;s firs read <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/warning-google-buzz-has-a-huge-privacy-flaw-2010-2" target="_blank">this article on BusinessInsider</a><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/fbregister?redirect=/warning-google-buzz-has-a-huge-privacy-flaw-2010-2"> </a>and then read the rest of this post.</p>
<p>The article mentioned above is a bit technical, let me explain the threat in simplest words and then I will show you how to remove it.</p>
<p><strong>The privacy threat behind Google Buzz:<span id="more-108"></span></strong></p>
<p>Consider the snapshot beow:</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.khmohsin.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/buzz2.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-109" title="buzz2" src="http://blog.khmohsin.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/buzz2.png" alt="" width="423" height="129" /></a></p>
<p>I you have enabled Google Buzz and when you will click on anyone of your contacts you will see this a screen like above, pretty innocent, hmmm, <strong>No!</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">If you click on the link on the<strong> &#8220;following&#8221;</strong> link, you will instantly get all<strong> my contacts</strong>!</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Imagine all my contacts, family members, business contacts,friends and foes etc. Everything exposed!</strong> and the best part is that all of this has been done without any <strong>explicit statement from Google!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If you have any doubts check this out in your buzz Now!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>How to Turn Off Google Buzz Effectively and Safely!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Before you turn of Google Buzz completely, first step is to unfollow everyone, do it mannually and now! This is how you will do it:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://blog.khmohsin.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/buzz-3.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-110" title="buzz 3" src="http://blog.khmohsin.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/buzz-3.png" alt="" width="386" height="124" /></a></p>
<ol>
<li>Click on the Buzz Icon</li>
<li>Click on your name</li>
</ol>
<p><a href="http://blog.khmohsin.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/buzz-4.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-111" title="buzz 4" src="http://blog.khmohsin.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/buzz-4.png" alt="" width="393" height="134" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>Click on your Following Link and <strong>UnFollow everyone</strong>!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Turn Off Google Buzz Until Google Updates its policies:</strong></p>
<p>Scroll Down to bottom of Gmail Window and Click Turn Off Buzz<strong>.</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://blog.khmohsin.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/buzz5.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-113" title="buzz5" src="http://blog.khmohsin.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/buzz5.png" alt="" width="448" height="149" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>This is the worst ever mistake made by Google (made by Google in my Opinion). I will discuss in my future posts about the possible threats about such mistakes from Google or similar companies.</strong></p>
<p><strong>[Update: </strong>Thursday, February 11, 2010 4:49 PM<strong>] </strong>Google has updated there policy about Google Buzz as a response to complains, I am not sure about the consequences yet, check it:</p>
