hi Michal, thanks for the insight, and you're right in your assessment of the value of my unsolicited rant. in the future, i'll give my posts more consideration and try to instill some value. fwiw, i did write that 4 days ago (not sure what the delay was in getting to the list) and since then, a number of people have complained about Google Buzz. afaik, revised the Buzz privacy settings twice in as many days. also, according to the NYT, EPIC is considering a lawsuit: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/13/technology/internet/13google.html "Mr. Rotenberg said that his organization planned to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission claiming that the Google’s use of e-mail conversations to build a social network was unfair and deceptive." and EFF has published a page on how to "Protect Your Privacy on Google Buzz" http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/02/protect-your-privacy-google-buzz cheers, --scm On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 2:30 AM, Michal Zalewski <lcamtuf () coredump cx> wrote:
Too bad nobody came up with a communication tool where random, hastily written, unsolicited statements about your daily life would fit better than on this mailing list. Maybe one day?
