I didn't like the way contacts were automatically linked to me etc. I switched that off very quickly. I have not opted out and switched off Buzz. I definitely do not want it. I am quite happy with my blog for making contact with people.<br /><br />Bye just now.ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-91949115827989029572010-02-23T23:05:24.840+00:002010-02-23T23:05:24.840+00:00Hello Leah,
When I blogged about Buzz, I had just...Hello Leah,<br /><br />When I blogged about Buzz, I had just heard the BBC take issue with Google about this opt out game with Buzz. Google had deliberately made it difficult to find an opt out. I went on line, tweaked a bit but was a bit too quick for Google's changed behaviour!!<br /><br />With the advice I got from everyone, I returned online to Google and found the placement of the opt out. As you say, you would think organisations, even those that think they have the world sewn up in their favour, would learn a little humility ever so occasionally. Maybe that's too much to hope for.ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-78793455992516146322010-02-23T22:59:50.380+00:002010-02-23T22:59:50.380+00:00Hi MKL
I understand your thinking. You can have ...Hi MKL<br /><br />I understand your thinking. You can have too many social connections which dilutes the whole communication pleasure. Buzz is obviously on a bandwagon wanting some of the social chat site interaction, whether you want it or not!! Not for me either.ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-5153536452972460162010-02-20T04:33:41.058+00:002010-02-20T04:33:41.058+00:00I only know how to turn it off.

You can change certain things in the settings area on what you wanna display, etc but yet its still not quite as private as some of us like it to be. <br /><br />I didn't like Buzz either coz it allows strangers to add u (like weirdo political activists) and view who's following you.Pinknpurplelizardhttp://pinknpurplelizard.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-73921818420727126192010-02-19T13:03:20.817+00:002010-02-19T13:03:20.817+00:00Have you figured it out?

It's right next to whether you want to turn on or chat. <br /><br />I too don't like it. I don't mix social networking and email. I wrote to them saying they need to make things like this opt-in, not opt-out. You'd think places would learn this. *shakes head*Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630377483536827271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-69006672622368187592010-02-19T11:36:33.493+00:002010-02-19T11:36:33.493+00:00I only heard bad things about Buzz, but even, if i...I only heard bad things about Buzz, but even, if it was good, I wouldn't be interested. <br /><br />I love Twitter. It's more than enough for me to send short messages to my friends. Facebook is for sharing photos privately. I don't need more. And the rest I express on my blog or in personal emails.TGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15796150972580581810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-5440443174983570712010-02-18T19:40:41.534+00:002010-02-18T19:40:41.534+00:00Hi Zewt,

Opting out means international, or national mass protest. It is not good.ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-16421878555698504872010-02-18T19:38:29.070+00:002010-02-18T19:38:29.070+00:00Hello Mr F,
