Thanks for the wonderful post mohsin. Buzz is the worst thing developed by google i think.Google is always my favourite but buzz made me to get disappointed.

Hope they will take it off soon and comeup with some nice feature…

Or just maybe free trial just ended. I logged into my another account and got buzzz again.

I don’t get it :/

It looks like Google turned off its new feature. I wanted to check how it really is with Buzzz today and didn’t find it. There’s also no option allowing to turn it on.

Maybe they reflected that made privacy mistake and now trying to fix it.

Thanks for telling me. Turned off now. Leaving Google. Found a nice old school-webmail at the portal ireland.com (no Im not spamming about them, it´s just a tip for an easy webmail with almost no ads, that i just found randomly)

You dont get the whole point of email do you? Can I come and listen to all your phonecalls too? Let me guees you are younger than me…anyway….myself, i´ve used gmail when looking for new jobs, perhaps i dont want my boss at the moment to know this, you know? I´ve been mailing with at least 10 diffrent other companies this winter….I DONT WANT THAT FLOATING AROUND PUBLIC! Guess im lucky anyway, cause i never did trust google 100% so ive had another webmail when mailing with my lawyer.

Thanks, Mohsin, for the detailed steps.

I resent the fact that Google turns it on by default and we have to go through a procedure to turn it off!

When I log in my yahoo account, a lot of offline messages pop up that is very annoying. people don’t like that people’s information is flood out in their email account, that is why I don’t think that Google Buzz service can get a value in the market.
Thank you Mohsin for your value able and prompt participation.

Double Check it dude, you follow on twitter with the people you wish to expose publicly! On Google Buzz google has chosen to display information from your contacts you may not want to expose.
